Aims and scope
The ICAME Journal is the journal of the International Computer Archive of Modern and Medieval English. It is an international journal that aims to advance English corpus linguistics, in particular by disseminating findings from corpus-based studies and by discussing new corpora and new methods in corpus linguistic approaches.
The journal will publish high-quality papers relating to the results of studies carried out on either contemporary or historical English language corpora. Among the areas addressed can be, for instance, comparisons between data from non-English language corpora and English language corpora, discussion or evaluations of corpus-based methods of investigation, and outlining challenges or benefits in the compilation of new corpora.
Consequently, submissions will be of prime interest to the journal if they:
- increase our knowledge of structure or variation of the English language on the basis of corpus data
- use corpora to determine similarities or differences between the English language and other languages
- lead to new insights into the use of corpus linguistic methods
- show how knowledge gained from English language corpora can benefit other fields of research beyond linguistics
- introduce new English language corpora to the readers of the journal.
