摘要：A project team at Tokyo University of Foreign Studies (TUFS) developed a website
that allows users to download sentence patterns for English educational
purposes. These sentences were extracted from the British National Corpus
(BNC) by writing search expressions using the Language Toolbox (LTB). Prior
to the creation of the expressions, we surveyed major English textbooks used
widely at Japanese educational institutes, for the purpose of covering the most
often studied English sentence patterns. The data was stored in an XML database
and was made available to users through the Internet. This project was
carried out in collaboration with Shogakukan and Sano Laboratory at TUFS.
The website was provided as a part of the Shogakukan Corpus Network (SCN)
services.
