Citations in the corpus

• Authenticity, Culture and Language Learning (2006, background): “Similar claims have also been made more recently as a basis for the use of concordance data in language classrooms (Gavioli & Aston, 2001).”
• Pointing Out Frequent Phrasal Verbs: A Corpus‐Based Analysis (2007, methodology): “The noted multiplicity of PV senses also confirms the need for language learners to be exposed to these structures in multiple and varied contexts—a task perhaps aided by the use of concordancing software (Cobb, 1997, 1999; Gavioli & Aston, 2001; Sun & Wang, 2003).”
