Non-native speech and attitudes to L2 English and other languages in the Proceedings of the Old Bailey
The Proceedings of the Old Bailey comprise Late Modern English transcripts from London’s Central Criminal Court between 1674 and 1913. Since the Proceedings were taken down by scribes who typically attempted to preserve in writing not only the content of the testimonies but also their linguistic nature, they testify to the multilingual environment that was London throughout the centuries and give evidence of the established practice of using inte…
Slovene Subcorpus of the International Corpus of Learner English and Its Potential for Contrastive Interlanguage Analysis
This paper introduces the Slovene subcorpus of the International Corpus of Learner English (ICLE), the first representative dataset of English produced by Slovene L1 speakers. It outlines the corpus design, learner metadata, and essay characteristics, highlighting its comparability with other ICLE subcorpora. The paper reviews contrastive Slovene-English studies and relevant ICLE-based research, showing how ICLE-Slovenia enables empirical testing…
Compiling a custom corpus and word list for Esap
The study presents a step-by-step procedure for building a specialised corpus and compiling a technical word list to support instruction in English for Specific Academic Purposes (ESAP). Recognising the lack of suitable textbooks for a highly specialised ESAP course, a custom corpus of 1.4 million words was constructed to support the development of corpus-informed teaching materials for undergraduate geography students. The corpus was compiled fr…

The paper presents the project entitled Neighbours with a Go-Between that was carried out by the University of Klagenfurt (Austria) and the University of Ljubljana (Slovenia) between 2016 and 2019, combining indirect literary translation and intercultural communication. Based on the analysis of student reports, the study shows how the task of collaborative indirect literary translation helped form a temporary community of practice, which in turn …
Prosody and absolute vs. relative uses of English and Slovene adjectives
The paper explores the role prosody plays in distinguishing two types of uses of adjectival structures in English and Slovene. In both languages, adjectival structures can be used with an internal standard, yielding an absolute interpretation, or with an external standard (typically comparing the nominal referent to other members of the same category), giving rise to a relative interpretation. It is shown that, in the base degree, a focus on the …
