CorpusCast is the podcast about corpus linguistics and what it can do for society.

Join Dr Robbie Love as he speaks with top researchers in the field to find out more about how corpus linguistics – the study of linguistic patterns in large samples of language – is applied to a diverse range of areas including health, social justice and education.

On this episode, Robbie chats to Dr Phoebe Lin, Assistant Professor in English in the Department of English and Communication at Hong Kong Polytechnic University.

Phoebe’s research examines natural speech prosody and its role in vocabulary acquisition using a range of methods including controlled experiments, corpus analysis, statistical modelling and software development.

Phoebe is interested in the acquisition, processing and use of formulaic language by first (L1) and second language (L2) learners of English.

Phoebe is the developer of IdiomsTube, a free English vocabulary learning app that automatically guides the learning of formulaic expressions in YouTube videos.
