LING 137 - Introduction to Corpus LinguisticsSemester Hours: 3
Periodically
Corpora—large electronic compilations of systematically-collected texts— are very valuable resources for researching linguistic questions about language variation and change. In this course, we will first explore the ways in which corpora are compiled, annotated, and analyzed and gain a working knowledge of a variety of corpus analysis tools and existing corpora. Second, in order to apply this knowledge, we will investigate current applications of corpus analysis including its use in studies of forensic linguistics, language teaching, lexicography, and legal practice. Quantitative reasoning skills will be highlighted throughout each unit.
