		Costas Gabrielatos’ Personal Website I work within linguistics and applied linguistics (or is it linguistics applied?), mainly using a corpus-based approach (or is it corpus-driven?). In previous lives I worked in English language teaching and language teacher education (or was it training?) This page works as a hub, with a thematic index to my publications, conference papers, edited contributions to online discussions, language teacher education materials, and the odd unpublished rant. The index only lists what is freely available online. For a full list of publications go here.
