In the CORAL Lab we investigate language using large, principled collection of texts, also known as corpora. The goal of the lab is to further the use corpus linguistics tools to answer applied linguistics research questions. Some of our projects involve examining the linguistic characteristics of university writing, describing the language of political debates, and developing corpus-based materials for language teaching.
If you are interested in joining the lab or just visiting, please contact Dr. Larissa Goulart (goulartl@montclair.edu).
We are currently working on a project that seeks to triangulate the results of a register analysis comparing undergraduate writing and GenAI responding to the same prompts with teachers' perceptions in relation to GenAI and students' texts.
