Course Description
This course introduces the use of language corpora (large-scale electronic collections of authentic written and spoken language) in linguistic research from both soft (qualitative) and hard (quantitative) perspectives. Students will receive hands-on experience in corpus processing and data analysis and will learn how to work with existing corpora for their languages of interest as well as how to construct corpora of their own. Particular attention will be paid to the role of the corpus as a source of linguistic data and to the potential of corpus methods to enrich research in other theoretical frameworks, such as usage-based linguistics, construction grammar, cognitive linguistics, and functional linguistics.
