APPENDIX 2
USING THE CORPUS OF CONTEMPORARY AMERICAN ENGLISH (COCA)
A corpus is an electronically processed and stored collection of texts. It is an immensely help-
ful research tool, which can be used in a number of ways. These tips are only meant to provide 
guidelines on how to use COCA to look for collocations, i.e. words used around the word you are 
interested in. The guidelines can be modified to suit your needs.
1. 
Go to www.Corpus.byu.edu and choose Corpus of Contemporary American English.
2. Click the registration link and follow the instructions. Registration is free. 
Unregistered users can only make 10 searches a day.
3. The screen is divided into a number of sections.
