Research Interests

Language corpora; word frequency distributions; how these vary across language varieties, and how they relate to syntactic and lexical hypotheses; corpus interfaces; automatic and semi-automatic lexical acquisition from corpora; using the web as a corpus.

The lexicon; its structure; lexical resources, including published dictionaries; how lexicographers write dictionaries, how they determine what meanings a word has, and how this relates to theoretical discussions of ambiguity and computational work on word sense disambiguation.

Relations between lexicons and corpora.
