1. Objectives
Upon the completion of this course, students are expected to:
a) understand basic concepts of corpus linguistics, its history, as well as its
development,
b) be able to use programming language and its application in linguistics analysis,
and
c) get practical experiences of using computer to do some linguistic processing of a
corpus.
2. Course Description
This course introduces students to Corpus Linguistics, its history, as well as its
development. It also introduces students to the analysis of corpus, a large body of text
prepared for linguistic processing, using Python, an open source programming language
that comes with a sophisticated module for Natural Language Processing (NLP) called
Natural Language Toolkit (NLTK). The course provides students with practical
experiences of using computer in the analysis of a corpus.
3. Learning Activities
Lecturing, practical text analysis using computer, and discussions will be the major
modes for learning activities.
4. Media
Media are an LCD projector, a blackboard, computers, and corpus linguistics softwares.
5. Evaluation
Assessment will be based on the following aspects:
Class Participation : 15%
Research Project
: 30%
Presentation
: 30%
Final Test
: 25%
