In this paper we review the state of the art in corpus linguistics in both English and Chinese in three areas - lexicography, grammar development and learner corpora. In doing so, we also contrast and compare the development of these areas for both languages. We discover that, while the lexicographic tradition in China means that work in English corpus based lexicography and Chinese corpus based lexicography bear comparison, in the other two areas the development of work in English is markedly more advanced than that in Chinese. However, were relevant we also look to future developments that hold the promise to change this situation.
