Abstract
Corpus linguistics (CL), as a growing field within the domain of linguistics, is characterized by its systematic analysis of large collections of authentic language data. At its core, corpus linguistics leverages vast corpora—comprehensive collections of written or spoken texts—allowing researchers and educators to discern patterns, frequencies, and nuances in language usage. When integrated into language development, particularly in the realm of writing, corpus linguistics offers a multifaceted toolkit that enriches various aspects of the writing process. Noteworthy in this domain is Philip Durrant's seminal work, ‘‘Corpus Linguistics for Writing Development’’ which constitutes a significant contribution to elucidating the pivotal role of corpus linguistics in fostering language acquisition and refinement.
