After a long time of not being able to post

I am able to get into do some writing now. Since my last post I attended an international applied linguistics conference in Costa Mesa. There were several renown scholars in the field of vocabulary studies in a colloquium on computer assisted lexical studies. I had read at least one book by each of them. They came from Japan, Hong Kong, England and Turkey. Each researcher had been tasked by their National Govt. to create a vocabulary standard for large English language instruction programs. Computers have given the field of voc. studies a strong boost because they can analyze mountains of data rapidly.
