About this course
Corpus linguistics studies language through large collections of real texts, called corpora, which computers can search and count. In this course you will build your own mental model of corpus design, read concordance lines, compare frequencies, and see how dictionaries and teachers use corpus evidence. Real screenshots of corpora and videos from practicing linguists make the methods concrete.
