The Web Page for Lancaster University's University Centre for Computer Corpus Research on the English Language (UCREL) presents the corpus-based research work of members of the departments of linguistics and computing. (Corpus research uses large bodies of machine-readable text (`corpora') to derive empirical data on language.) The site also identifies the center's holdings, including some online papers, and contains a bibliography. There are numerous links to Web sites dealing with applied linguistics and related social sciences.
