Recent studies have shown the need for more attention to be paid to English as form and not only as communication. This article describes a methodology for discovering how the communicative notion of temporal frequency is expressed in academic English. Almost 300 different linguistic devices are identified and described, along with the number of times they each occur in two large corpora of written academic English which can be used for computer analysis. The article also highlights the potential of computer-assisted analysis of authentic texts to help improve the basis for the development of language teaching materials
