    Corpora have been used not only in language instruction and learning, but also in

    teaching disciplinary content, e.g., linguistics. his study investigated the effectiveness of

    integrating corpus!based approaches into a linguistics pro"ect concerned #ith #ord gro#th.

    #o of four case studies #ill be reported, #hich have been e$plored for intentional

    vocabulary learning %Case &' and incidental ac(uisition %Cases ) and *'. Specifically this

    study aimed at finding out #hether students #ho participated in this corpus!based pro"ect

    %the e$perimental group' ac(uired more incidental vocabulary than those #ho did not %the

    control group'. Students in the e$perimental group #ere re(uested to base their pro"ects on

    self!construction data related to sound symbolism %SS', mainly from English maga+ines,

    #hich they had to analy+e using linguistic methods. SS served as the main #ord!focused

    tass %-' employed to reinforce the shortcomings of other theories. SS #as integrated into

    students/ one!year long pro"ect, including different categories of vocabulary %0,&10 le$ical

    items' #ith e$ample sentences, #ord fre(uencies and percentages. 2oth a pretest and a

    posttest #ere administered to evaluate their performance. ANC34A %Case )' indicated that

    the e$perimental group significantly outperformed the control group in the vocabulary tests.

    he findings confirmed that - favored higher level students to promote their #ord gains

    %Case *'. he statistical MAN34A sho#ed that - plus reading #ith e$tracting sentences

    #as better than - only %Case 0'.

    %. &earning through conte;t: incidental learning+ reading and )T

    Gaving discussed SS and its relevance, this section turns to vocabulary

    learning through conte$t, #ord!focused tass and the lie. :t is commonly assumed

    that most vocabulary is learned from conte$t %Sternberg &619'. 1ncidental learning

    through guessing from conte$t is considered the most important of all sources of

    vocabulary learning. :ncidental vocabulary ac(uisition is defined as Bthe ac(uisition of

    vocabulary as a HpositiveJ by!product of another activity or other language activities/

    %Coady &6697 ass &666'. Although Sternberg

    %ibid.' claims that most vocabulary is learned from conte$t, he also points out the

    insufficiency of presenting #ords in conte$t. herefore, it is evident that theory!based

    instruction is also needed concerning ho# to use the sills of learning through

    conte$t, including presenting #ords in a series of sentences.

    eading has long been considered the main source to increase vocabulary in

    important to e$plore #hich tass are more promising, leading to higher vocabulary

    gains8 a' reading alone, b' sentence writingor c' reading with sentence writing. :n

    other #ords, this research has been more concerned #ith the relevant approaches8

    reading te(tbooks alone, W&' alone, or W&'plus reading with sentence e(traction

    for each target word'. Sentence e$traction for the target #ords is considered

    incidental learning here, because the target #ords of - are not used for pretest and

    posttest.
