As an example of a large and recently-established spoken and written corpus, and what can be done with it, this paper describes resource-building of the Portuguese language at the University of Lisbon, and some possibilities envisaged for applications such as language teaching. Portuguese is one of the most widespread languages of the world, with the fifth largest group of native speakers. The corpus linguistics team at the Centro de Linguística da Universidade de Lisboa (CLUL) has been accumulating resources for some years, and has now made them available to the profession. One of their most ambitious publications is a set of 4 CD-ROMs,“Português Falado”, containing large samples of spoken Portuguese from the many countries where this language is in daily use. These samples are presented with text-to-sound alignment. Several examples are presented from the written corpus, showing the kind of information that is only obtainable from a corpus, and which is of great value to language learners and teachers, as well as to other professional users of language data. The differing frequencies of forms and lemmas are an important feature of an inflected language, and the collocation profiles of near-synonyms are directly usable in the classroom. The paper provides information about the corpus and its availability at CLUL.
