Oh, please do not get me wrong. This new section is not about using computers on or programming with a corpus, but rather I am currently constructing a new corpus based on the CACM, Communications of the Association for Computer Machinery, from January 2008 to date. As a professional grade ACM member since 1997, I have always been fascinated by some of the very conservative (and the sometimes very aggressive) words scientists use when they talk (or brag) about their new inventions or methodologies. How many of them actually come into real use? Could there be some insights we can possibly derive, especially from the linguistics perspective?
