What is a "corpus"?
A corpus refers to a large collection of written or spoken texts used for studying language. It serves as a resource for researchers to analyze patterns and usage in a specific language or dialect. Corpora can include different types of texts, such as books, articles, conversations, and transcripts, representing various styles or topics. By examining a corpus, linguists and language learners can understand how language is used in real life, gaining insights into grammar, vocabulary, and communication.
