The American was an American automobile, built in Plainfield, New Jersey, manufactured from 1917 to 1924. The company also used names American Balanced Six or American Six, "Balanced" referred to its chassis, not the engine. It was an assembled car, one of many built in its time, and it used components from several manufacturers like Borg & Beck for clutch, Warner transmission, Stromberg carburetor and Rutenber engines.
The company was never large; its peak production was 1400 vehicles built in 1920. In that same year a powerful 58 hp Herschell-Spillman six-cylinder engine replaced old 45 hp Rutenber six. American was commonly advertised as a 'Smile Car' because the company believed their cars offered trouble-free miles for their owners. In 1923 the company became associated with the Bessemer Truck Corporation; that October, the company became Amalgamated Motors, incorporating Northway and Winther as well. Before spring of 1924 American car was out of production. The total number of cars produced was about 6000 cars.
As of December 2, 2015, the United States has a total resident population of 322,267,564, making it the third most populous country in the world. It is very urbanized, with 81% residing in cities and suburbs as of 2014 (the worldwide urban rate is 54%).California and Texas are the most populous states, as the mean center of U.S. population has consistently shifted westward and southward.New York City is the most populous city in the United States.
The total fertility rate in the United States estimated for 2014 is 1.86 children per woman, which is below the replacement fertility rate of approximately 2.1. Compared to other Western countries, in 2012, U.S. fertility rate was lower than that of France (2.01),Australia (1.93) and the United Kingdom (1.92). However, U.S. population growth is among the highest in industrialized countries, because the differences in fertility rates are less than the differences in immigration levels, which are higher in the U.S. The United States Census Bureau shows a population increase of 0.75% for the twelve-month period ending in July 2012. Though high by industrialized country standards, this is below the world average annual rate of 1.1%.

This video introduces some of the basics of the COCA interface including displays, wildcards and lemmatization. The video also discusses some introductory issues to consider when beginning research in corpus linguistics.
A bare bones tutorial for my classes.
An introduction and description of the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA), and its usefulness when drafting academic papers
Here is a quick introduction to the functions and features of COCA that have many applications for language learners and teachers.
This video shows how to find the distribution of the search term across the sub-corpora of COCA, developed by Prof. Mark Davies. This video is part of the Introduction to Corpus Linguistics course at the Faculty of Arts, Silpakorn University, Thailand. This video assumes that viewers have some introductory background knowledge of corpus linguistics. The COCA corpus can be accessed via: https://www.english-corpora.org/coca/.

#workfromehome #dirumahaja #corpuslinguistics #lexicology #lexicography This is an introductory tutorial on COCA (#covid19 edition) for my undergraduate students in the "English Lexicology and Lexicography" class at Udayana University, Indonesia. The tutorial introduces the students to the List and Chart features of COCA (the new, mobile-friendly version). It demonstrates simple searches using word form and lemma to generate the frequencies of a set of words, as well as to compare the frequency of a word across the eight genres of COCA.

In this tutorial, we look at collocates, simultaneously with the latest feature of COCA in 2020, namely the "Word" feature. This "Word" feature provides rich lexicographical information for a given word in the corpus, including the collocation. We discuss how classic yet fundamental ideas in usage-based approach to word meaning, proposed by Ludwig Wittgenstein, John R. Firth, and Zellig Harris, are manifested in collo...
