Academic Projects
I have worked on on the following corpus-building projects at Lancaster University in the UK:
- Building an English Specialised Corpus of Emigre Copts of News Articles (CECNA) (2002-2010):
The corpus has been fully built and indexed onto CQPweb (Hardie, forthcoming):
- Co-building an English Specialised Corpus of US-President Speeches (CUSPS) (1790-2007):
The corpus is composed of US presidential speeches, starting from George Washington (1790) to George W. Bush Jr. (2007).
- Building a topic-specific corpus of Islamophobia in the UK (2009-...):
This corpus ranges over three main written genres: a) books, b) blogs, and newspaper articles.
