Abstract
Formulaic language plays an indispensable role in academic English writing and translation. To provide a convenient environment for Chinese learners to acquire the English formulaic language, an English-Chinese bilingual parallel corpus of academic formulaic language with 1643 sentence pairs is constructed. This paper introduces the construction method of the corpus, discusses the teaching application scenarios matching with its functions, designs a cross-contrast experiment, and verifies the convenience and effectiveness of the system. Using various retrieval channels and abundant corpus provided by the system, learners could master a large number of academic formulaic languages imperceptibly in their daily study. At the same time, the system can also provide data sources for computer-aided translation and other research on formulaic language.
