Corpus linguistic methods
de Adamou, Evangelia (aut.)
Ouvrage: Language contact: An international handbook de Gruyter Mouton, 2019 pp.638–653 -- [Autres dépouillements]Contenu: Corpus linguistics is a methodological approach that takes an empirical stance to the study of language. It relies on the analysis, whether qualitative or quantitative, of a body of written texts or transcriptions of spontaneous or semi-spontaneous speech. Corpus linguistic methods have a potentially strong impact on theory as they can offer support or challenge theoretical assumptions. They can also help improve our understanding of previously described linguistic phenomena and can reveal new topics of investigation that had hitherto gone unnoticed. Moreover, corpus linguistics is closely related to various fields of applied linguistics, for example through the elaboration of pedagogical tools. More specifically, in contact linguistics, a corpus-driven approach based on ecologically valid data allows for the examination of the constraints and social significance of bilingual speech. In addition, in experimental approaches to bilingualism, natural corpus data are used as basic frequency data in combination with the controlled data which are produced in a laboratory environment.Type de document: Article d'ouvrageLangue du document: anglais Ressource en-ligne: Accès public| Location | Call number | Status | Notes | Date due |
