Introduction
This special issue explores variations in English address terms across world Englishes, highlighting how globalization and digital communication continue to shape their use. While Western Englishes like British and American English show a decline in hierarchy‐stressing terms (e.g. Sir and Madam ) and a rise in informal forms (such as first names), South Asian Englishes and Caribbean Englishes seem to retain more formal terms. Despite significant …
English address terms in Australian, British and North American English on Twitter/X
This study analyses address terms on Twitter/X across three English‐speaking regions: Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States. Using a random sample, we examine the frequency and regional distribution of address forms, including @‐mentions, vocatives, titles, kinship terms and greetings. @‐mentions dominate across all regions, while vocatives form the second most common category and show regional patterning – bro , gang and pal in the…
Reproducibility and transparency in interpretive corpus pragmatics
In this paper we extend the discussion about reproducibility in corpus linguistics from quantitative to qualitative corpus-based approaches and argue that concerns about reproducibility can be addressed in interpretive research paradigms like corpus pragmatics. We first suggest that in interpretive research traditions, transparency is more important than reproducibility. We then argue that interpretive research can be made more transparent and ac…
Reproducibility, replicability, and robustness in corpus linguistics
This introduction to the special issue Reproducibility, Replicability, and Robustness in Corpus Linguistics calls for more transparent and robust research practices in the field. It situates the discussion within the broader replication crisis in the life and social sciences and explores its relevance for corpus linguistics. The article identifies key areas for improvement — data management, workflows, and reporting — and showcases tools and prin…
Vulgarity in online discourse around the English-speaking world
Seeded topic modeling as a more appropriate alternative to unsupervised standard topic models
A corpus-based analysis of adjective amplification in Hong Kong, Indian and Philippine English
This study considers a corpus-based approach for analysing adjective amplifier systems (very, really, so, etc.) in Hong Kong English (HKE), Indian Englsih (IndE) and Philippine English (PhiE) based on data from the International Corpus of English. The current study adds to existing research by providing insights into the understudied adjective amplifier systems of Asian Englishes. The study describes the amplifier systems in HKE, IndE and PhiE, a…
On the L1-acquisition of the pragmatics of discourse like
This study analyzes the L1-acquisition of discourse like and its pragmatic functions in American English based on the Home-School Study of Language and Literacy Development component of the Child Language Data Exchange System (CHILDES). The data show that discourse like is already present in the speech of 3- and 4-year-old children and that even very young children employ like to perform distinct pragmatic functions with specifying uses being dom…
Research trends in corpus linguistics
This paper uses a bibliometric analysis to map the field of Corpus Linguistics (CL) research in arts and humanities over the last 20 years, tracking changes in popular CL research topics, outlets, highly cited authors, and geographical origins based on the metadata of 5,829 CL-related articles from 429 Scopus-indexed journals. Results reveal an increase in corpus-assisted discourse studies, lexical bundles and academic writing, alongside newer to…
Training disciplinary genre awareness through blended learning
Ongoing change in the Australian English amplifier system
This study takes a corpus-based approach to investigating ongoing change in the Australian English adjective amplifier system based on the Australian component of the International Corpus of English (ICE). The paper analyzes changes in amplifiers across apparent time, with special attention being placed on amplifier–adjective–bigram frequencies, to provide insights into cognitive mechanisms underlying lexical replacement. Specifically, the paper …

Analysing discourse around Covid-19 in the Australian Twittersphere
Public discourse about the COVID-19 that appears on Twitter and other social media platforms provides useful insights into public concerns and responses to the pandemic. However, acknowledging that public discourse around COVID-19 is multi-faceted and evolves over time poses both analytical and ontological challenges. Studies that use text-mining approaches to analyse responses to major events commonly treat public discourse on social media as an…
Less is more? The impact of written corrective feedback on corpus-assisted L2 error resolution
How Learner Corpus Research can inform language learning and teaching
This study aims to exemplify how language teaching can benefit from learner corpus research (LCR). To this end, this study determines how L1 and L2 English speakers with diverse L1 backgrounds differ with respect to adjective amplification, based on the International Corpus of Learner English (ICLE) and the Louvain Corpus of Native English Essays (LOCNESS). The study confirms trends reported in previous research, in that L1 speakers amplify adjec…
Speech-unit final like in Irish English
This paper investigates the use of speech-unit final like (SUF like ) in standard Irish English (IrE) and takes a variationist approach based on the Irish component of the International Corpus of English (ICE-IRL). The analysis includes both sociolinguistic factors (age, gender, occupation type, religious affiliation, conversation type, audience size, type and zone of residence) and a psycholinguistic factor (priming). The statistical analysis ex…
The Discourse Particle eh in New Zealand English
This paper investigates the use of eh in New Zealand English (NZE) and takes a quantitative, variationist approach based on the New Zealand component of the International Corpus of English (ICE New Zealand). The analysis includes both sociolinguistic (ethnicity, age, gender, occupation type) and psycholinguistic variables (priming). A mixed-effects binomial logistic regression model shows that younger speakers use eh more often than older speaker…

Studying the linguistic ecology of Singapore
The focus of research on Singapore English has traditionally been on its structural features, while the relationship between English and other official languages of the Republic within the individual speaker has attracted much less interest, and comparatively little empirical data exist on the actual linguistic ecology of individual Singaporeans. The present study explores the results of detailed language background questionnaires eliciting the l…
