ICE-Ireland: Local Variations on Global Standards

Abstract

The proposal to compile an International Corpus of English (ICE) was first published in a brief note by Greenbaum (1988). In a later discussion of the ICE project, Greenbaum (1996b, p.3) explained that: its principal aim is to provide the resources for comparative studies of the English used in countries where it is either a majority first language (for example, Canada and Australia) or an official additional language (for example, India and Nigeria). In both language situations, English serves as a means of communication between those who live in these countries. The resources that ICE is providing for comparative studies are computer corpora, collections of samples of written and spoken English from each of the countries that are participating in the project.
