πŸ‘‰πŸ»πŸ‘‰πŸ»πŸŒΉWhat is a corpus in language?
In linguistics, a corpus (plural corpora) or text corpus is a large and structured set of texts (nowadays usually electronically stored and processed). They are used to do statistical analysis and hypothesis testing, checking occurrences or validating linguistic rules within a specific language territory.

πŸ‘‰πŸ»πŸ‘‰πŸ»πŸŒΉCorpus linguistics is the study of language as expressed in corpora (samples) of "real world" text. The text-corpus method is a digestive approach that derives a set of abstract rules that govern a natural language from texts in that language, and explores how that language relates to other languages.

πŸ‘‰πŸ»πŸ‘‰πŸ»πŸŒΉπŸŒΉCorpus linguistics is the use of digitalized text (corpus) or texts, usually naturally occurring material, in the analysis of language (linguistics). Techniques used include generating frequency word lists, concordance  lines (keyword in context or KWIC), collocate, cluster and keyness lists.

Originally derived manually, corpora now are automatically derived from source texts. Corpus linguistics proposes that reliable language analysis is more feasible with corpora collected in the field in its natural context ("realia"), and with minimal experimental-interference.




πŸ‘‰πŸ»πŸ‘‰πŸ»πŸŒΉThe field of corpus linguistics features divergent views about the value of corpus annotation. These views range from John McHardy Sinclair, who advocates minimal annotation so texts speak for themselves, to the Survey of English Usage team (University College, London), who advocate annotation as allowing greater linguistic understanding through rigorous recording..

πŸ‘‰πŸ»πŸ‘‰πŸ»πŸ‘‰πŸ»πŸŒΉThe first computerized corpus of transcribed spoken language was constructed in 1971 by the Montreal French Project, containing one million words, which inspired Shana Poplack's much larger corpus of spoken French in the Ottawa-Hull area.


πŸ‘‰πŸ»πŸ‘‰πŸ»πŸŒΉπŸŒΉBesides these corpora of living languages, computerized corpora have also been made of collections of texts in ancient languages. An example is the Andersen-Forbes database of the Hebrew Bible, developed since the 1970s, in which every clause is parsed using graphs representing up to seven levels of syntax, and every segment tagged with seven fields of information.


The Quranic Arabic Corpus is an annotated corpus for the Classical Arabic language of the Quran. This is a recent project with multiple layers of annotation including morphological segmentation, part-of-speech tagging, and syntactic analysis using dependency grammar.



πŸ‘‰πŸ»Besides pure linguistic inquiry, researchers had begun to apply corpus linguistics to other academic and professional fields, such as the emerging sub-discipline of law and corpus linguistics, which seeks to understand legal texts using corpus data and tools.


πŸ‘‰πŸ»πŸŒΉMethods

Corpus linguistics has generated a number of research methods, which attempt to trace a path from data to theory.

πŸ‘‰πŸ»πŸ‘‰πŸ»πŸŒΉWallis and Nelson (2001) first introduced what they called the 3A

πŸ‘‰πŸ»perspective:

πŸ‘‰πŸ» Annotation,

πŸ‘‰πŸ»Abstraction and Analysis.




πŸ‘‰πŸ»Annotation consists of the application of a scheme to texts. Annotations may include structural markup, part-of-speech tagging, parsing, and numerous other representations.
πŸ‘‰πŸ»πŸ‘‰πŸ»Abstraction consists of the translation (mapping) of terms in the scheme to terms in a theoretically motivated model or dataset. Abstraction typically includes linguist-directed search but may include e.g
