Indian English Studies: The Kolhapur Corpus of Indian English: One of the major research interests of the Department is Indian English Studies. The Department has been associated with the compilation of “One Million Word Computer Corpus of Indian English”, which is being distributed worldwide through the Norwegian Centre for Computer Corpora Studies, Norway. The Kolhapur Corpus of Indian English in machine readable form is a million-word stratified random sample of the edited and published materials in India by Indians in the year 1978. It is meant for use with digital computers for the purposes of linguistic description of aspects of written Indian English – syntactic, lexical and semantic. The Corpus has been designed to be closely comparable to the standard corpora of American English and British English to facilitate comparative studies of the three varieties of English.
