Corpus linguistics is the study of a language as that language is expressed in its text corpus,its body of "real world" text. Corpus linguistics proposes that a reliable analysis of a language is more feasible with corpora collected in the field—the natural context ("realia") of that language—with minimal experimental interference.
In linguistics,a corpus or text corpus is a language resource consisting of a large and structured set of texts. In corpus linguistics,they are used to do statistical analysis and hypothesis testing,checking occurrences or validating linguistic rules within a specific language territory.
A monolingual learner's dictionary (MLD) is designed to meet the reference needs of people learning a foreign language. MLDs are based on the premise that language-learners should progress from a bilingual dictionary to a monolingual one as they become more proficient in their target language,but that general-purpose dictionaries (aimed at native speakers) are inappropriate for their needs. Dictionaries for learners include information on grammar,usage,common errors,collocation,and pragmatics,which is largely missing from standard dictionaries,because native speakers tend to know these aspects of language intuitively. And while the definitions in standard dictionaries are often written in difficult language,those in an MLD use a simple and accessible defining vocabulary.

An interlanguage is an idiolect which has been developed by a learner of a second language (L2) which preserves some features of their first language (L1) and can overgeneralize some L2 writing and speaking rules. These two characteristics give an interlanguage its unique linguistic organization. It is idiosyncratically based on the learner's experiences with L2. An interlanguage can fossilize,or cease developing,in any of its developmental stages. It is claimed that several factors shape interlanguage rules,including L1 transfer,previous learning strategies,strategies of L2 acquisition,L2 communication strategies,and the overgeneralization of L2 language patterns.

Macmillan English Dictionary for Advanced Learners,also known as MEDAL,was first published in 2002 by Macmillan Education. MEDAL is an advanced learner’s dictionary and shares most of the features of this type of dictionary:it provides definitions in simple language,using a controlled defining vocabulary;most words have example sentences to illustrate how they are typically used;and information is given about how words combine grammatically or in collocations. MEDAL also introduced a number of innovations. These include:
