First, we need develop easily used methods for each of the ten analytic have examined, lexical analyses, QDA (qualitative data analysis), automatic tagging, language profiles, group comparisons, change scores, error analysis, feedback studies, conversation and modeling. Second, work together construct unified database studies related sciences. must be grounded principles open access, data-sharing, interoperability, integrated structure. It provide powerful tools searching, multilinguality, analysis. If build this infrastructure, able explore more deeply key questions underlying structure functioning language, as it emerges from intermeshing processes operative eight major timeframes.
