摘要:In this paper, we present Mini-McCALL, a 1.3-million-word corpus of computer-
mediated communication in the context of online English university
courses.1 The data consist of three types of written communication – both
between students and between students and teachers – in English: discussion
forum messages, e-mail messages, and documents handed in as assignments.
This pilot corpus comprises the first stage of a proposed 10-million-word corpus
of computer-assisted language learning based on the online English courses
offered by the Department of Humanities at Mid-Sweden University (Mittuniversitetet).
