It may be because a lack of well-annotated corpus resources. However, the creation of BNC, which is a balanced and richly annotated corpus, makes it possible to explore swearing from various sociolinguistic variables, such as age, gender and education level. Based on McEnery and Xiao's research, this article applies similar methods to another English word-DAMN, a typical swear-word which frequently occurs in BNC and also in everyday language use. This article will make full use of BNC to explore a detailed distribute pattern of DAMN within spoken registers, within written registers and across these two registers. Besides, the article will also try to find out the limitations of corpus methodology.展开更多

The vertical concentration variation of these trace dements is reported. The relationship of the variation to the water-bearing capacity of the Ordovician strata is discussed. The minimum concentration of eleven （of 14 total） trace elements appears in the lower Majiagou formation. The maximum concentrations mainly appear in the Badou and Jiawang formations： eight maxima are located in Badou and four more are in Jiawang. The study of karst development and the water-bearing capacity of Ordovician strata shows that karst is well developed in the Majiagou formation and there is a consequent high water-bearing capacity in this formation： Badou and Jiawang formations are contrary to this situation. The results illustrate that the minimum concentrations of most trace elements within certain Ordovician formations can be taken as strong evidence for the existence of a well developed karst and a high water-bearing capacity.展开更多
