At the time we did this research GloWbE was not yet published. <br /><br />Indeed, research on noun countability in world Englishes using the GloWbE corpus is well underway and we will be publishing this work soon. Very much looking forward to sharing our results with you! <br /><br />We are also presenting our preliminary findings at the Canadian Linguistics Association. A short abstract is available here: http://homes.chass.utoronto.ca/~cla-acl/abstracts-2014/Schmidtke_Kuperman.pdf <br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />Dan SchmidtkeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1929284578930372562.post-65581576868464511142013-09-17T22:20:00.724+01:002013-09-17T22:20:00.724+01:00just did a quick look using BYU GLOWBE corpus and ...just did a quick look using BYU GLOWBE corpus and getting very diff results; e.g. in the study Philippines got high percentage for Luggages(87.92%) and Homeworks (41.61%) but in GLOWBE we get Luggages(3.8%) and Homeworks (1.7%);<br /><br />overall in the study non-core countries equipments (9%) compares with glowbe equipments(5.9%)- not an ideal comparison as the study and Glowbe don't include same countrie but order of magnitiude is better than with Phillipines result.<br /><br />i wonder why they did not use Glowbe to cross check?<br /><br />the study paper available here - http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/weng.12001/pdf<br /><br />ta<br />muramura navahttp://eflnotes.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1929284578930372562.post-73103113715745978772013-09-17T21:40:52.553+01:002013-09-17T21:40:52.553+01:00just did a quick look using BYU GLOWBE corpus and ...just did a quick look using BYU GLOWBE corpus and getting very diff results; e.g. in study Philippines stood as high perentage for Luggages(87.92&) and Homeworks (41.61%) but in GLOWBE getting Luggages(3.8%) and Homeworks (1.7%);<br /><br />overall in non-core countries equipments (9%) compares with glowbe equipments(5.9%)- not an ideal comparison as the study and Glowbe don't include same countrie but order of magnitiude is better than with Phillipines result.<br /><br />i wonder why they did not use Glowbe to cross check?<br /><br />the study paper available here - http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/weng.12001/pdf<br /><br />ta<br />mura<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1929284578930372562.post-52782176677524058362013-09-14T13:54:13.048+01:002013-09-14T13:54:13.048+01:00Yes, that's interesting.
