Sketch of Professor Antoinette Renouf:
Antoinette Renouf is Research Professor for English Language and Linguistics at Birmingham City University (BCU). Her
research interests include lexis and lexical semantics, with particular focus on the relationship between textual word patterning and meaning; and automated text analysis for application in document retrieval and knowledge management. She is internationally known as a pioneer in the field of Corpus Linguistics. In 1980-1986, at the University of Birmingham, she was co-director of the innovative COBUILD project. Then in 1990, as Director of the new ‘Research and Development Unit for English Language Studies’, she won a science council research grant for her AVIATOR project, to monitor novelty and change in the English lexicon. In 1993-2004, the Unit (now RDUES) was at the University of Liverpool, where she completed four further projects, ACRONYM (automatic identification of sense relations), APRIL (changing structure of the Lexicon), WEBCORP (Web as Corpus) and SHARES (similar document retrieval), before bringing the Unit to BCU. Here, she conducted the WebCorpLSE (Linguist’s Search Engine) and Lexical Repulsion projects.
She is the editor of several volumes, and has written many essays in the field of Corpus Linguistics. She has been Chair
of the Advisory Board of ICAME (International Computer Archive of Modern and Mediaeval English) for 6 years, and Board member for 32 years. She is an invited speaker at universities and conferences around the world. She is currently writing up strands of her research, one aiming to be a book on neology.
