16.45 – 17.45 G01/02 Dictionaries and corpus workshop, Elaine Higgleton<br />
All good dictionary publishers – such as Collins – have been using corpus<br />
information about how language is used to write and update dictionaries<br />
for nearly 30 years. It is a process that many of us are familiar with and<br />
have seen p<strong>res</strong>ented many times before. In this combined talk and<br />
workshop we will be hearing about some of the latest corpus-driven<br />
updates made to the latest edition of Collins English Dictionary, trying our<br />
hand at interpreting corpus data to spot recent changes in the language<br />
and using corpus data to draft our own dictionary entries.<br />
Elaine Higgleton is the International Publisher for Collins Learning, a<br />
division of HarperCollins Publishers. She has had a long and varied career<br />
in publishing, from the ELT Dictionary Division at OUP to Chambers in<br />
Edinburgh and then moving to Collins in 2001.<br />
