Temple University Japan:

Introduction to Corpus Linguistics

Date: Saturday, February 21st, 2004 Time: 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Speaker: Douglas Biber (Northern Arizona University)

Description:
This course will examine issues in corpus linguistics, both as a research methodology and as a field of study within linguistics. The course will survey the kinds of research questions that can be investigated using a corpus linguistic approach. We will discuss how corpus linguistics differs from other research traditions in linguistics, emphasizing the advantages of this approach for studies of language use.
We will look at selected published case studies illustrating the range of linguistic research questions that have been studied from a corpus linguistic perspective. We will also discuss methodological issues relating to corpus design and construction, and we will explore key research methodologies, including project designs, using concordancing tools, and interactive coding.
