This innovative volume is one of the first to represent the usage
of bilingual writers in both their languages, offering insight into
language corpora as extremely valuable tools in contemporary
applied linguistics research, and in turn, into how much of the
world's population operate daily. This book discusses one of the
first examples of a bilingual writer corpus, the Zayed
Arabic-English Bilingual Undergraduate Corpus (ZAEBUC), which
includes writing by hundreds of students in two languages, with
additional information about the writers and the texts. The result
is a rich resource for research in multilingual use and learning of
language. The book takes the reader through the design and use of
such a corpus and illustrates the potential of this type of corpus
with detailed studies that show how assessment, vocabulary, and
discourse work across two very different languages. This volume
will be of interest to scholars, policymakers, and educators in
bilingualism, plurilingualism, language education, corpus design,
and natural language processing.
