This course is an introduction to the fast growing field of corpus linguistics. It aims to familiarize you with key concepts and common methods used in the construction of language corpora, as well as tools that have been developed for searching and using major corpora such as the British National Corpus. Criteria and methods used for evaluating corpora and analytical tools will also be discussed. Through hands-on experience in pre-editing, annotating, and searching corpora, you will be equipped with basic corpus skills widely applied in linguistic research. This also lays the groundwork for research using big data and machine learning of language.
