Join Dr Robbie Love as he speaks with top researchers in the field to find out more about how corpus linguistics – the study of linguistic patterns in large samples of language – is applied to a diverse range of areas including health, social justice and education.

On this episode, Professor Ute Römer and Professor Clark D. Cunningham (Georgia State University) join Robbie Love to discuss the contribution of corpus linguistics to research in legal interpretation.

Ute Römer is a professor of applied linguistics in the department of applied linguistics and English as a second Llanguage at Georgia State University.

Professor Clark D. Cunningham is W. Lee Burge chair in law & ethics at the Georgia State University College of Law.

Ute’s primary research interests and areas in which she has published include corpus linguistics, phraseology, usage-based second language acquisition, academic discourse analysis, and the application of corpora in language learning and teaching.

She serves on the editorial boards of a number of academic journals (including the International Journal of Corpus Linguistics, Corpora, and English Text Construction) and is General Editor of the book series Studies in Corpus Linguistics (John Benjamins).

Ute has written and edited several books including “Advances in Corpus-based Research on Academic Writing” (with Viviana Cortes and Eric Friginal) and “Progressives, Patterns, Pedagogy”.

He is the director of the National Institute for Teaching Ethics & Professionalism (NIFTEP), a consortium of ethics centres at six universities, and the co-editor of the International Forum on Teaching Legal Ethics & Professionalism.

Clark publishes on a variety of topics with an emphasis on interdisciplinary and comparative scholarship. His article in the Iowa Law Review, applying semantics to analyse the ways the meaning of "search" has evolved in U.S. constitutional law, won the national Scholarly Papers Competition sponsored by the Association of American Law Schools.

Clark previously served as the Convenor of the Steering Committee of the Global Alliance for Justice Education, an international organisation of over 700 law teachers, lawyers, and leaders of non-governmental organisations from more than 50 countries.
