Course Linguistics Seminar III with + p: Introduction to corpus linguistics 3304-1D3XW-KJ-17
The methodology of corpus linguistics is based on the study of extensive collections of texts (currently containing a billion or more words), selected according to specific criteria. These collections can be explored using search engines created specifically for this purpose, based on the CQL (Corpus Query Language). The data obtained in this way allows for a more objective description of various linguistic phenomena than is possible through introspection or survey research, and even enables the identification of new, previously unnoticed patterns in language. The seminar aims to familiarize participants with the theoretical foundations of corpus linguistics, as well as with examples of how French- and Polish-language corpora can be used in research on vocabulary, syntax, phraseology, etc. The results of such research are used in linguistic studies, as well as in language teaching and even in literary studies.
The course includes both theoretical knowledge and practical exercises that will allow participants to acquire and practice the skills of formulating queries and searching for various types of linguistic data in different corpora (including user-generated corpora), planning and conducting corpus-based research, and analyzing the results obtained.
