I downloaded and tested it in my computer. It's very useful for arrange duplicated files. The only pity is that the demo version has a thirty-day limitation.
Another one is Cambridge Learners' Corpus of Several million words. Its product is the "Cambridge Learner's Dictionary" (剑桥英语学习词典) with the domestic price of 35.9 Yuan. It's very helpful in language teaching.
偶尔逛到香港理工大学的网站上下载的一个ppt,题为“Developing a
PolyU Language Bank” by Sherman Lee.前半部分内容对语料库语言学做了一个综述,做得不错,中间用个case study来举例说明语料库可反映的问题,很有意思!后半部分介绍了香港理工大学的语言库,有兴趣的同学可以看看!欢迎讨论!
其实香港那边做语料库研究做得相当成功,但我对他们具体做的事情知之甚少,请了解这方面信息的同学多介绍一下,谢谢!

OK,I'll take it as a motivation to read the thesis. But I'm afraid you have to wait till the end of the winter vacation for my comments, as I'm a slow reader who is enjoying many gifts offered by you all.
Thank you for sharing. However, sometimes, we should not download the materials for the sake of materials. I think we should read and discuss them in the same posting later. What's more important is to think over them, rather than just own them.
I agree the author's viewpoint that we should not adapt our own research to the corpora or software available, but the other way around. It's just a pity that, most often, we can't help it.
