| Research Abstract |
In this project, we compiled an English corpus consisting of around 60,000,000 running words collected from research papers published in journals in the field of medicine and related disciplines. We then analyzed the collocational patterns of English words to determine with which words they naturally tend to co-occur. With our system, Japanese researchers now have the possibility to obtain valuable information on the typical collocations of any given English word. Since such information is not commonly available in dictionaries and grammar books, this may thereby be effective in helping Japanese researchers write more natural academic English.
