Abstract
Corpus linguistics offers IT-enhanced methodological approaches for LSP tutors in order to provide their students with relevant grammar, key discipline vocabulary and specific rhetorical patterns in a constructivist and contextualised environment. Learning the Language of Dentistry by Peter Crosthwaite and Lisa Cheung is the first systematic contribution to corpus-based analysis of the language of dentistry for the purposes of disciplinary writing.Keywords
