Corpus Research Applications in Second Language Teaching (2011, background): “Like Hunston and Francis (2000), I see a necessity in and “look forward to [more] information about patterns being incorporated in language teaching materials.””
Using a Corpus-Based Lexicogrammatical Approach to Grammar Instruction in EFL and ESL Contexts. (2009, methodology): “In this view, “a grammatical structure may be lexically restricted” (Francis, 1993, p. 142) and, conversely, lexical items are often grammatical in nature, for the use of a lexical item often has grammatical implications (Biber, Conrad, & Reppen, 1998; Conrad, 2000; Hunston & Francis, 2000).”
Formulaic Language in Native and Second Language Speakers: Psycholinguistics, Corpus Linguistics, and TESOL (2008, background): “So lexicographers, guided by representative corpora (Hunston & Francis, 1996; Ooi, 1998), develop learner dictionaries which focus on examples of usage as much as, or even more than, on definitions.”
Usage‐Based Language: Investigating the Latent Structures That Underpin Acquisition (2013, methodology): “Therefore we used the VACs presented in the Verb Grammar Patterns (Hunston & Francis, 1996) that arose out of the COBUILD project (Sinclair, 1987) for our initial analyses.”
Explaining listening comprehension among L2 learners of English: the contribution of general language proficiency, vocabulary knowledge and metacognitive awareness (2017, background): “However, there is considerable evidence from the field of corpus linguistics that grammar and vocabulary cannot so easily be separated (Hunston & Francis (2000).”
Processing and learning of enhanced English collocations: An eye movement study (2017, methodology): “A collocation was operationalized in the present study as a lexically or syntactically prefabricated chunk, based on the phraseological (Cowie, 1981) rather than the statistical-frequency approach (Hunston, 2002; Hunston & Francis, 2000; Sinclair, 1991).”
Converging evidence: Bringing together experimental and corpus data on the association of verbs and constructions (2005, background): “…their claims, simply report frequencies without reflecting or addressing the potential problems which may derive from this procedure and which were discussed above in Section 2.1 (cf. Hunston and Francis 2000; Boas 2003; Mukherjee 2003; Newman and Rice 2004; Davidse and Vanden Eynde 2004; etc.).”
Collostructions: Investigating the interaction of words and constructions (2003, background): “…propose that verbs entering into the into-causative usually (i) do not mean 'talk reasonably' and (ii) can also be used transitively; they go on to argue that both of the senses they have identified are associated with " some kind of forcefulness or even coercion " (Hunston & Francis 2000: 106).”
Some Proposals towards a More Rigorous Corpus Linguistics (2006, background): “…linguistics shows that many studies still rely on the most basic and unrefined frequency data, namely raw frequencies or percentages (cf. Atkins 1987, Berglund 1997, Boas 2003, Egan 2002, Facchinetti 2001, Hunston and Francis 2000, Johansson 2001, Kennedy 1991, Mukherjee 2003, and many more).”
Beyond Vocabulary: Exploring Cross-Disciplinary Academic-Language Proficiency and Its Association With Reading Comprehension (2015, neutral): “This process…) (Flowerdew, 2003; Hunston & Francis, 2000).”
