Sneak Preview of the KorPLUS Package

Micro Credential (4 units)

This introductory course to corpus linguistics aims to familiarize anyone interested with the basics of corpus linguistics. Students get some hands-on practice analyzing corpus data.

Note: The contents of MC63 are also part of the complete VLC-course VLC302 - Corpus Linguistics, which is a more in-depth practical introduction to the English-Corpora.org interface.

The Basics and Two Fields of Application

Corpus Linguistics Basics

A complete introduction to corpus searching techniques (7 units)

This course aims to familiarize students with the principles and methods of corpus linguistics, a field that studies language through large collections of texts (corpora). The course covers topics like corpus design, text collection, annotation, and analysis. Students learn to use a freely available corpus platform, exploring linguistic patterns in data. The goal is to equip learners with skills to conduct empirical research on language usage.

Note: VLC302 consists of 7 units and provides the theoretical and practical foundations for two continuations:

Corpus Linguistics: EFL Applications

With a focus on teaching and learning English (6 units)

VLC304 aims at providing teachers and learners of English with practical applications of corpus analyses. Participants will be guided through applied problems from six areas that are typically difficult for non-native learners of English (confusable words, prepositions, collocations, grammar, register and varieties).

Note: Prerequisite for participation in VLC304 is the successful completion of VLC302 - Corpus Linguistics Basics.

Corpus Linguistics: Linguistic Applications

With a focus on linguistic research (5 units)

VLC303 is aimed at integrating empirical, data-driven methodologies with theoretical linguistic analysis. Users will gain a better understanding of linguistic theory by identifying and interpreting patterns, trends, and anomalies in usage data and investigating language variation across different contexts, genres, and time periods.

Note: Prerequisite for participation in VLC303 is the successful completion of VLC302 - Corpus Linguistics Basics.
