Why web as corpus? What is corpus? A simple definition: Collection of texts.简答说文本集合就叫做语料库。Web pages are mainly collection of texts, so web can be regarded as a kind of corpus. 语言的用法往往遵循“有很多其它人（native speaker）这么用，我也可以这么用” What does a corpus contain? Conventional usage of a language.语料库中蕴含了一种语言的习惯用法 How to access a structure in a corpus?如何从语料库中查找一个特定的结构呢？ Through a computer-based tool. So google can be regarded as that kind of tool for searching a certain language structure from the web. 只有通过计算机工具来实现。google本来是一个信息搜索工具，我们将它作为从网络上获取特定语言结构的搜索工具。 Search for collocation of English words 通过google检索英语词项的搭配。搭配是外语学习中一个非常重要的内容。 比如上面例中的 As my exams are coming next week, I’ll take advantage of the weekend to _____ on some reading.　　 A catch up　　 B clear up 　　 C make up 　　 D pick up　 常量[take advantage of] 变量[the weekend变量都用*代替] 常量[to] 变量[*] 常量[up]常量[on] some 常量[reading].在google中整个当作一个短语(phrase as a google operator )来搜索，用*替换所有变量，用半角双引号括起来： take advantage of * * to * up on * reading 作为短语搜索和不作为短语搜索的区别 比如English grammar和the grammar of English 是“bigger variance” 还是“larger variance” ？统计学中的“更大的方差” 是”interested on” 还是”interested in” “interested to”？ 请比较各自的频率优势，一般频率高者为首选 Many translators have made studies on the idioms translation. conducted studies Site restrict search限定网络语料来源。Why do we need site restrict search？网络资源千差万别，质量良莠不齐。 site:限定搜索某个特定网站如：Chinese twitter Site:edu限定某一类网站：请比较校训的说法school metto 和university metto 美国大学网站上的用法；比较中国大学网站上的用法：school metto和university metto III.
