循证医学专业英语语料库建设研究

Evidence-based medicine has become a basic methodology for clinical practice and health management. However, because of insufficient ability of professional English, the quality of evidence produced by Chinese researchers remains low. This study collected huge amounts of natural text data from authoritative evidence-based medicine journals, books, and websites, tagged these text data using computer software, and finally established an English corpus of evidence-based medicine containing 5 million words. The corpus is an effective tool for guiding scientific and teaching research of evidence-based medicine. This article elaborated on the theory, principles, and experience involved in the construction process around the aspects of design, data collection, processing and application of corpus.
