The ApLing corpus has been utilized for in-depth research, including a dissertation study focused on the use of noun+noun sequences in applied linguistics. This research explored the range, complexity, and functional/semantic characteristics of noun+noun combinations across eight sub-disciplines within the field. The study developed a discipline-specific pedagogical list of noun+noun sequences (NNSL), providing valuable insights for both linguistic research and educational applications.
