“…The Chinese resort to expressing desires of objective situations (including that of self and others) to express personal attitude and emotion when facing illness (Tang and Liu, 2022). In this sense, the expression of inward desires allows patients to express desires about themselves and construct their psychological expectations for a better life (Shen, 2001).…”

The widely-used social media have offered Chinese cancer patients online sites for self-disclosure. Collecting self-disclosing discourses from 200 Chinese cancer patients on TikTok and SnackVideo, this study systematically analyzes the discursive strategies employed by Chinese cancer patients and their emotions expressed during self-disclosure, with the help of NVivo 12 and LIWC 2015. As a result, it is found that: (1) Chinese cancer patients display self-disclosure oriented toward facts, relationships, desires, and experiences discursively; (2) Chinese cancer patients showed a higher proportion of positive emotions than negative emotions, with female patients being more conservative and stable than their male counterparts when disclosing positive emotions. To some extent, the findings above would shed insights into the provision of psychologically inclusive support for the cancer patients in Chinese culture and beyond.

“…To be able to describe the verbs comprehensively, this study employs a corpus-based analysis, which means this study focuses on the frequency of use and uses a larger scale of data for the analysis. Several corpus studies on verbs in newspapers have been conducted to seek for pedagogical implication (Deng & Li, 2017), and corpus studies to assist critical discourse analysis of the news texts (Moon, 2016;Wang, 2015), and to depict the morphosyntactic aspects of the verbs in news texts (Bednarek & Caple, 2012). Some other verbs were examined by focusing on report verbs used by native and non-native speakers of English (Yilmaz & Ertürk, 2017), and by investigating phrasal verbs (Zarifi & Mukundan, 2013).…”

As one of the text categories, opinion texts have distinctive characteristics compared to any other texts in newspapers, including the choice of verb usage. This study then aims at preliminarily examining the verbs used in opinion articles in The Jakarta Post to find out the relation between frequency and text characteristics. This study collected the opinion articles of The Jakarta Post comprising 47.143 words. This study was assisted by Lancsbox to store the corpus of opinion section texts, to identify the verb lemmas, and to count the frequency of verbs. The verbs found in this study were then classified based on Scheibman’s main verb classification (which is based on Halliday’s and Dixon’s verb types). The results of the study show that there are three most frequent verb types used in opinion texts in The Jakarta Post; they are material, verbal, and feeling verb types. Meanwhile, the lesser frequent ones are perception, possessive/relational, relational, and cognition verbs types. Meanwhile, the least frequent verb types are existential, corporeal and perception/relational verbs types. As opinion text conveys the argument of the writer, it is plausible to find feeling verb type belongs to the third most frequent types, along with material type to show concrete actions and verbal type to report the information. These frequencies exhibit that there is a firm relationship between text characteristics and the tendency of verb choice.

“…comprehensive and accurate analysis (Burkette & Kretzschmar Jr., 2018). Corpus is widely used in linguistics, from grammatical analysis (Jones & Waller, 2015) to critical discourse analysis (Wang, 2015;Wright & Brookes, 2019), showing that corpus can be applied to any aspect of language studies. The use of corpus is also beneficial for some other fields which concern or deal with language.…”

Regarding the seemingly ignored corpus for pedagogical contexts, it is necessary to investigate how prospective English teachers perceive corpus and its use for language teaching. From the description of the perceptions, it is then possible to consider further pedagogical implementation. This study thus examines English Education Department students' perceptions of corpus use for English language teaching in the Indonesian context. There are 31 participants from the fifth-semester students of an English Education Department in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The perception data were collected through questionnaires and interviews after some practice of corpus use. The questionnaires and interviews show that most students perceived corpus positively and found corpus application for language teaching beneficial and essential, albeit unfamiliar with corpus. Due to ignorance, there are some difficulties faced by the students. However, this study shows the advantages of using corpus for teaching language outweighed the challenges. Thus, it should be considered to equip students in language education departments with corpus lessons intensively.
