Prerequisites
Familiarity with basic notion in general linguistics.
Learning outcomes
The course applies basic linguistics methods and notions to the fields of language teaching and corpus linguistics.
Course contents
The use of annotated corpora for linguistic analysis

In this course we learn how to conduct corpus-based linguistic analysis, using methodologies and tools developed within corpus linguistics and computational linguistics. The student will be asked to set up and carry out an in-depth corpus-based analysis of a chosen linguistic phenomenon.

1. What counts as an annotated corpus.
2. Corpus query systems and methods.
3. Annotation and mark-up.
4. Regular expressions.
5. Frequency and association measures.
6. Types of corpora.
7. Examples of linguistic analyses and generalizations based on empirical evidendence.
