Nursing English-A Corpus Concordancing Project

两位研究人员访问了四个不同国家的五家医院（美国，菲律宾(2)，新加坡和马来西亚），以开展关于英语工作场所护理话语的研究。我们通过将我们的数据与现有语料库进行比较来调查结果，其中一些是通过一致性进行的。并注意到现有护理英语教科书中尚未注意到的几个互动特征。以及亚洲英国医疗环境特有的形式。这些内容被汇编成两篇已完成的论文（加上三篇正在发表的论文），四篇在会议上的国际报告，以及一本为我们自己的护理学生编写的英语教材。我们觉得我们的研究是新颖而富有成效的，并且激发了该领域许多其他专业人士的问题和评论。我们认为，我们的见解也将适用于护理英语的教育和材料，无论是在我们的家乡大学和其他地方。

The two researchers visited five hospitals in four different countries in order to conduct research(The U. S., The Philippines(2), Singapore and Malaysia) on workplace nursing discourse in English. We surveyed the results by comparing our data to existing corpora, some of it via a concordance. and noted several features of interaction that had not yet been noted in existing Nursing English textbooks. As well as forms that were unique to Asian English medical settings. These were compiled are presented in two completed papers(plus three in publication process), four international presentations at conferences, and an English coursebook for our own nursing students.We feel that our research has been novel and productive, and has inspired question and commentary from many other professionals in the field. We feel that our insights will also be applied to Nursing English education and materials both at our home university and elsewhere.
