    Dear All

    I made two mistakes in my last email;

    One Béatrice not Brigitte. This come from writing two emails at a time.

    Two the URL for WConcord. This neat piece of freeware for Windows
    concordancing has been provided by martinek@top.cz
    (Zdenek Martinek, Masarykova 4, 312 19 Plzen, Czech Republic).
    siegrist@hrz1.hrz.th-darmstadt.de
    (Prof. Dr. Leslie Siegrist, TH Darmstadt, FB2, Institut für Sprach- und
    Literaturwissenschaft, Hochschulstr. 1, 64289 Darmstadt, Germany)
    and really can be found at:
    http://www.linglit.tu-darmstadt.de/wconcord.htm

    My apologies to those who sought and did not find, my heartfelt thanks to
    the providers of this tool.

    Geoffrey

    Subject: Corpora: corpus linguistics course

    Dear list members,
    I am seeking advice on the best way to organize a corpus linguistics course
    in my English department. Starting in february 2003, 2 hours every other
    week for 12 to 13 weeks (that is our second semester) so about twelve hours
    altogether. I can have a computer room with 10-12 PCs.
    I would like to know what corpora and what tools to buy (my BNC-World
    failed to install and I sent the CDs back). Of course the less money I ask
    for, the happier my head of department will be. Still I want the students
    to have hands-on sessions with software that runs smoothly so as not to put
    them off corpus linguistics for ever. They are second-year students in
    France (Paris-Sorbonne Nouvelle) studying for a degree in English.
    Thanks for your help. I will post a summary of the numerous replies I
    receive.
    Beatrice Vautherin
