Welcome to the Lancaster Corpus of Children's Project Writing (LCCPW). The corpus is

• a digitized collection of project work produced by children aged between 9 and 11;

• a component in a larger research programme: a longitudinal study of children's writing-for-learning, based on the writing of 8 - 12 year old children;

• the result of a collaboration between the Department of Linguistics & Modern English Language at Lancaster University, and a primary school situated in the North West of England;

• founded on a cross-fertilization between two research specialisms in linguistics:
  • literacy research and
  • computer corpus linguistics;
