Multi-layered Contrastive Interlanguage Analysis Basedon the Newly Compiled Corpus of Asian Learners of English

当前研究项目的目的是汇编一个足够大的由亚洲不同英语学习者撰写的对照文章语料库，并确定学习者使用中介语的特征。在数据分析的过程中，我们旨在利用不同相关领域的研究成果，包括TESOL，英语和日语语言学，心理语言学和统计学。经过三年的项目，我们最终在亚洲的十个国家和地区以及几个以英语为母语的国家收集了大约130万字的论文。ICNALE现在是亚洲最大的英语学习者语料库。收集到的数据以下载版本和在线版本（称为ICNALE online）的形式公开提供。迄今为止，这些数据已在世界上20多个国家和地区用于各种研究目的。基于语料库数据，分析了学习者使用高频词、情态动词、-ly副词、连词和语篇标记的特点。我们已经出版了十本书（其中一本是单独撰写的），十三篇论文（其中七篇是同行评议的），并做了41次受邀演讲和学术报告。

：The aim of the current research project was to compile a sufficiently large corpus of controlled essays written by varied learners of English in Asiaand to identify characteristic features in interlanguage uses by learners. In the process of data analysis, we aimed to utilize findings in varied related fields including TESOL, English and Japanese linguistics, psycholinguistics, and statistics. As a result of the three-years-project, we have finally collected approximately 1.3 million words of essays in ten countries and areas in Asia as well as in several countries where English is used as a native language. The ICNALE is now the largest corpus of Asian learners of English. The collected data is made publicly available both in a download version and in an online version, which is called The ICNALE Online. The data has been used to date for varied research purposes in more than twenty countries and areas in the world. Also, based on the corpus data, we have analyzed the features of learners’ use of high-frequent words, modal verbs, -ly adverbs, conjunctions, and discourse markers. We have published ten books (one of which is single-authored), thirteen papers (seven of which are peer-reviewed), and made forty-one invited speeches and academic presentations.
