CorpusCast

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 in a diverse range of contexts including education, health and technology. CorpusCast is an official Aston University podcast, part of the Aston Originals series. New episodes are published on the first Wednesday of every month.

CorpusCast is available on the following platforms:

YouTube | Spotify | Apple Podcasts | Google Podcasts | Podcast Addict | Podchaser | Spreaker

CorpusCast is written and hosted by Robbie Love – Co-Director of Aston Corpus Linguistics Research Group – and produced by Sam Cook, Press and Communications Manager at Aston University.

CorpusCast is featured on the Superlinguo list of linguistics and language podcasts.

CorpusCast is supported by the following initatives:

Sydney Corpus Lab at the University of Sydney, led by Professor Monika Bednarek, has launched a monthly series of blogs featuring transcripts of the ‘Quick Questions’ section from past episodes of CorpusCast.
The Laboratory for Corpus Research in Applied Linguistics (CORAL) at Montclair State University, led by Dr Larissa Goulart, has created a collection of listening guides for past episodes of CorpusCast.
