Dr Costas Gabrielatos

I have been working in corpus linguistics since 2001. I came to linguistics via English language teaching (1984-1993) and language teacher education (1992-2001). 

My current research focuses on corpus linguistics, lexicogrammar, and (critical) discourse studies. I have also published on language teaching methodology, language teacher education, and the connection between linguistics and TESOL. E-copies of my publications and presentations are available via Research Gate and Academia.edu. [For details, see 'Research Interests' below.]

I currently teach modules on research methodology, English lexicogrammar, and (critical) discourse studies. I also supervise postgraduate research students employing corpus-based approaches to theoretical lexicogrammar and critical discourse analysis. [For details, see 'Teaching' below.]

Research focus

My research focuses on the following areas:

Corpus Linguistics methodology

• Query constrruction for the compilation of topic-specific corpora.
• Analytical techniques and metrics (consistent collocates, keyness analysis, manual annotation),

Theoretical Lexicogrammar

• Conditionals
• Modality and modal markers
• Tense and aspect
• Compatibility between construction grammar and lexical grammar

Pedagogical Lexicogrammar

• Learner language (particularly the use of conditionals, modality, tense and aspect)
• Comparisons between L2 and L1 use. and the information in pedagogical materials

Discourse-Oriented Corpus Studies

• Presentation of social actors in the media
• Foci: immigration and asylum, religion, autism

My publications often feature as required or suggested reading in undergraduate and postgraduate modules. The approach to keyness analysis discussed in Gabrielatos & Marchi (2011, 2012) and Gabrielatos (2017, 2018) has been implemented in the following corpus tools:

• CQPweb, maintained by Prof. Jiajin Xu (National Research Centre for Foreign Language Education, Beijing Foreign Studies University), http://124.193.83.252/cqp.
