Definice a Význam "corpus linguistics"

What is "corpus linguistics"?

Corpus linguistics is the study of language based on large collections of written or spoken texts, known as corpora. This field analyzes these texts to identify patterns in language use, such as word frequency, grammar, and syntax. Researchers in corpus linguistics use statistical methods to draw insights about language structure and usage in different contexts. This approach helps to uncover trends in language, inform language teaching, and contribute to the development of dictionaries and linguistic theories by providing practical data on how language is actually used.
