Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This course provides an in-depth introduction to Corpus Linguistics, its methods and fields of application. Corpus Linguistics (CL) is the study of linguistic phenomena through large collections of machine-readable texts: corpora. These are used within a number of research areas ranging from the descriptive study of the syntax of a language, second language learning or academic writing, to discourse analysis.
We will cover the conceptual and theoretical foundations of, as well as the practical implementation of,
(1) designing a Corpus Linguistic study
(2) selecting, pruning and tagging textual data
(3) building a corpus in CL software
(4) analyses including frequency, keyness, concordancing and collocations
(5) interpreting and presenting statistical results.

Aims:
Knowledge and understanding: You will become acquainted with a range of distinct methods used in CL and learn to choose among them to answer specific research questions

Practical skills: Our data and methods workshops will help you become competent at applying a range of analytical methods to different types of data

Intellectual skills: In covering a range of methods, you will understand the importance of choosing adequate methods for a specific data set and research questions; you will come to understand how the choice of method can impact results and how methodology always co-constructs the object of research

Transferable skills: You will acquire data collection and data analysis skills; you will learn to identify relevant areas for research, conceptualise your own research – including data and methods – and present this both in written form as a research proposal and as a spoken/visual presentation
