The article is devoted to student research opportunities within one of the largest language resources – the British National Corpus. The user-friendly annotations of this rich collection make it possible to effectively apply to the BNC for both research and English language learning. The British National Corpus is well-known as a completed project, it was created in 1990s, and since then it has been regarded as one of the largest and most varied corpora of spoken and written data yet compiled. In this article, we reintroduce some issues of the British National Corpus in its modernized BYU architecture of the year of 2012, in sense of new software applications for computer-assisted language research and language learning. The article provides some accessible research samples for students coming to empirical linguistics. The article is written within post-doc research of the ERANET MUNDUS project, at the University of Barcelona, Spain.
