LING399: Language as Evidence
Through an understanding of corpus use and or corpus building, this unit integrates the material covered in any Linguistics specialisation, helping students as they approach graduation understand how their program of study fits together. Computer corpora (written, spoken and signed language) provide a rich resource for investigating any aspect of language: as small as the phoneme or as large as whole texts. In this project based unit students prepare themselves for either postgraduate studies in linguistics or professions in which language analysis and investigation are relevant. The unit also shows how empirical data from computer corpora can complement other forms of linguistic description.
