Today I learned
about Corpus Linguistics by Dr. Kriangkrai Vathanalaoha. First,I learnt the meaning of corpus. It was a
collection of word and a theory or methodology of language. Corpus was created
since 1897. It was around 19th - early 20th century. The first corpus wrote
about child diaries. It also had two cases; The case for
introspection showed that language performance was biased
because real life is biased. In contrast, the case for
empiricism showed that introspective data was observable. Then,
I learnt about Types of corpus. There we re seven types of corpus
1. Special Corpus: It was a
specific information.
2. General Corpus:
It was broad and large words of spoken and written British English.
3. Mutilingual
Corpus: It added Spanish or American English and Indian English.
4. Parallel Corpus:
It was a translate text from English language to another language.
5. Learner Corpus:
Language use crated by people learning a particular language.
6. Historical or
Diachronic Corpus: 1.5 million words of text from 700AD - 1700AD.
7. Monitor Corpus:
Continually being added to.
Moreover, I learnt
about process in Corpus Linguistics. Corpus could told about frequencies of
word that I wanted to know how did it used, collocation, distribution
information, keywords, and dispersion plots. Finally, I
knew corpus was a useful material that the students or teachers could use to
collect the information to apply to their studying or teaching.
