Software

NEW SOFTWARE: Collocate has now been released. The beta version is no longer available. It is possible to download the demo, which will provide enough information for simple analyses. The software can be used to provide n-gram lists; to give the collocates of a search time (using MI, t-score, etc.); and to extract collocations from a text.

The beta versions of ParaConc are no longer available. The demo can be used for a quick analysis.

Athelstan Newsletter and Technology Yearbook are available online. These publications are now historical rather than current documents. They date from a time when the use of technology was not common in language learning and are an attempt to collect resources and explain CALL, etc.
