The article presents the recently completed Czech subcorpus of the multinational learner corpus of advanced spoken English LINDSEI and aims to draw attention to some of the methodological concerns the field of learner corpus linguistics faces. First, it describes the Louvain family of learner corpora, where this project originated, and provides a detailed description of LINDSEI, its history, design, structure, transcription system and metadata. It then outlines the nature of the Czech subcorpus LINDSEI_CZ, telling the story of its compilation and providing a quantitative description of the corpus size, task sizes and learner variables, as well as a description of the transcription process. The core part of this text discusses methodological concerns affecting learner corpus design and construction and deals with such issues as task design, recording instructions, the matter of learner-participant proficiency, and transcription system employed. It concludes with a consideration of various methodological suggestions and offers the possible view that, despite certain weaknesses, LINDSEI is an invaluable source of highly authentic learner data. The last section provides a thematic categorisation of existing studies on LINDSEI and concludes with descriptions of some future projects. The article calls for a thorough reconsideration of learner corpus design and practice and for the formulation of compilation and research standards which would lead to an increase in the reliability and exploitation potential of learner corpora.

New Pathways to Terminological Minimum

It is widely accepted that terminological minimum is a practical means used for the selection of specialist vocabulary to be taught at various proficiency levels in LSP courses. This popular understanding of the notion renders it similar to the concept of lexical minimum; from the didactic perspective, the two notions seem to largely overlap, being in fact vocabulary lists based mainly on the frequency parameter. However, this picture has largely obscured the true ontological status of the two concepts, and it was not until only recently that the notion of lexical minimum was defined in a more comprehensive way, bringing to light some of its most salient characteristics. Likewise, it seems necessary to re-define the notion of the terminological minimum, if only on account of the specific nature of the lexical unit included in them, i.e. the term. The current paper attempts to elucidate the notion in question and to provide a methodological framework for the compilation of a modern terminological minimum.

The major underlying principle of the present paper is that, in opposition to the viewpoint of emotions as discrete entities, emotions are represented as clusters in conceptual space. The graded structure and fuzzy boundaries inherent in the prototype-periphery nature of these clusters dictate that the meaning of a specific emotion is governed by both inter- and intra-cluster relationships and their interactions. In addition to these relationships and interactions the paper examines both external and internal affects to compare and contrast the FEAR, COMPASSION, LOVE/JOY, and PRIDE clusters in British English and Polish. The three specific methods employed to analyze these are the GRID instrument, an online emotions sorting task, and a corpus-based cognitive linguistic methodology.
