Research and Professional Interests:


Corpus linguistics. Go here for information a recent book of mine, English Corpus Linguistics: An Introduction (Cambridge University Press, 2002).


The International Corpus of English (ICE). The ICE project is the first large-scale effort to study of the spread of English as an international language. More than 20 research teams are participating in the project and collecting similar types of spoken and written English representing the variety of English spoken in the country in which each team resides. There are three components available: the British component of ICE (ICE-GB), the East African component (ICE-EA), and the New Zealand component (ICE-NZ).


Modern English grammar and English usage. Have a look at an article on usage I wrote for a recent issue of the Newsletter of the American Dialect Society (NADS). This article discusses how instructors can teach the notion of "correctness" by having their students find instances of disputed usages on the World Wide Web.


The role the teaching of grammar plays in the ESL classroom
 
Chuck is co-directing the ICE-US project with Prof. Hongyin Tao and he is the co-editor of Journal of English Lingusitics.
