| dc.description.abstract | This paper describes an on-going corpus development and application project at the Mary
Immaculate College and the University of Limerick, Ireland. The Limerick Corpus of
Irish English is a one-million word corpus of English as it is spoken in Ireland. The
corpus is genre-based and consists primarily of casual conversational data. Details of the
corpus design, development and applications, both research and pedagogic, are described.
An illustrative example of the linguistic phenomenon of HEDGING is explored and some
classroom activities based on the findings are developed.
