On September 29, 2012, I was awarded the National Prize of the Japan Association of English Corpus Studies (JAECS) for contributions to the field of corpus linguistics including the creation of AntConc, AntWordProfiler, and other software tools. I am very honored and would like to thank the JAECS Board and the members of JAECS for this wonderful award.
