Corpus Linguistics as a Data-Driven Approach to Modern Language Analysis
Keywords:
Corpus Linguistics, corpus analysis, data-driven linguistics, authentic language data, computational linguistics, lexicography, corpus-based research, language patterns, linguistic corpus, discourse analysis.Abstract
Corpus Linguistics is one of the most rapidly developing branches of modern linguistics that studies language through large and systematically organized collections of authentic texts called corpora. Unlike traditional linguistic approaches that mainly relied on intuition or artificially created examples, corpus linguistics focuses on real language data obtained from spoken and written communication. This data-driven approach allows researchers to examine vocabulary, grammar, collocations, discourse patterns, and semantic relations with greater accuracy and objectivity.
