“…Corpus linguists must continue to work on ways of tagging corpora for pragmatic information that (1) is not limited to single words or phrases, that is, pragmatic episodes that span turns (Félix-Brasdefer, 2006); (2) is distributed throughout a text; and (3) has multiple linguistic realizations (e.g., Maynard & Leicher, 2007;Adolphs & Carter, 2007). Software designers and computer programmers need to continue to develop software applications that would facilitate the automatic archiving of CMC (and other modes of interaction) into learner corpora in association with relevant metadata, thereby sidestepping the time-consuming process of manual data input.…”

This article provides a selective review of the role of computer mediation in the instruction and development of second language (L2) or interlanguage pragmatic competence within foreign and second language education. Both researchers and practitioners have noted consistently that several aspects of the teaching and tutored learning of L2 pragmatics have been reported as problematic and/or underexplored in the published knowledge base to date, including the availability and authenticity of instructional materials, the provision of opportunities for the performance and practice of L2 pragmatic competence in meaningful interactions, the relative lack of developmental data documenting the precise (and varied) pathways of L2 pragmatic competence over time, and the efficacy of particular pedagogical interventions in classroom-based L2 pragmatics instruction. The role of computer mediation in each of these underexplored areas is examined with a special emphasis on the teaching and learning of L2 pragmatics in Internet-mediated partnerships and on the use of (learner) corpora in L2 pragmatics instruction and research.

Text analysis informed by Genre Theory (Hyon 1996) and methods in Corpus Linguistics provide the opportunity to describe language patterns that exist not only at the individual level but also in discourse communities. In this study, we investigate the discourse strategies used by novice and expert members of the academic United States (US) Spanish-speaking community to engage their audience, construct interpersonal meaning, and position themselves as expert speakers. We analyze two corpora: a specialized corpus of 32 conference presentations delivered by professors and doctoral students of Hispanic Studies, and a learner corpus of 24 in-class presentations to describe discourse patterning of social engagement expressed in text organization during presentation openings. Results indicate variation in engagement strategies between novice and expert presenters, with professors being the ones who make more use of interpersonal and interactive features to engage their audience. Our findings inform genre-based pedagogies by describing the language functions used to construct the different stages in which openings are organized. As oral presentations have been insufficiently studied (Robles Garrote 2016), this study contributes to the growing knowledge of academic oral Spanish in the United States.

“…Though other pragmatically annotated corpora exist (e.g. Archer 2005 ; Maynard and Leicher 2006 ;Kallen and Kirk 2012 ), these are very domain-specific and identify pragmatic categories typical of the particular domain under investigation, such as judicial, spoken, 3 or academic language. In this project, on the other hand, there is a broader focus on general pragmatic features, to enable reuse within the academic community.…”
