Peer Review: International Corpus of English

As suggested by KalenTheGreat, there is definitely some room for improvement on this article. From what I can tell, it seems that KalenTheGreat has already made some contributions to the actual article, particularly in the section titled "Description". However, I wasn't able to find a full draft of the article with contributions from all group members.

I think that overall, the article is divided into appropriate and relevant sections, although some sub-sections might be helpful for further organization (this is something that my group and I decided to do for our own article, as one of our sections became quite lengthy). I noticed some potential overlap between the "History" and "Description" sections -- for example, mention of the father of the project, Sidney Greenbaum, might be appropriate to the "History" section. Also, while the "History" section contains some great information about the work that is being done on the ICE at present, I believe this section would be better focused on description of the initial stages and development of the ICE over the years, leading into present work (this "Present Work" could even be a separate section or sub-section). Otherwise, this information might fit more appropriately in the "Description" section, as it certainly does describe the corpus work.

Under the "Description" section, I also found that mention of the British Component of the ICE in particular should maybe be a sub-section, as it is more specific and not a part of the overall description of the corpus. I am not really familiar with the ICE, so this may be a very prominent component and thus relevant here. If this is simply meant to point out the inclusion of part-of-speech tagging and parsing, perhaps this could be introduced more generally -- currently, the sentence puts the focus on the British Component and doesn't seem to flow from the previous paragraph. (Again, this might be easily fixed by making this a sub-section in the "Description" section.)

Finally, I really like the clear organization of the section titled "Design of the Corpora" -- it very nicely breaks down the subsections and categories. Overall, I think that this article is off to a great start, drawing from relevant and credible sources! Natnicmo (talk) 01:35, 5 March 2018 (UTC)

After reviewing this article I feel as though it is making wonderful progress. It's very detailed and very well organized.Adrianna.caraway (talk) 21:22, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
