    Dear colleagues,

    I'd like to announce the first version of a site I've put together dedicated to
    the lexis of Business English.

    http://users.utu.fi/micnel/business_english_lexis_site.htm

    This site is similar in intent to Averil Coxhead's wonderful Academic Word List
    site, and is intended as a free resource for teachers/researchers interested in
    business English. It consists of the results of my corpus-based analysis of
    business English in the form of word lists showing the key words of business
    and their collocates and semantic prosodies. There are also some free teaching
    materials to download. The site is not complete, but I've delayed it long
    enough so please just take it on an as is basis. I hope to complete the site in
    the near future.

    For any correspondence, please mail me at mike.nelson@utu.fi.

    Best wishes,

    Mike
