In an era defined by AI, big data, and digital communication, understanding how language works through data has never been more essential. This practical, hands-on course introduces you to corpus linguistics —a powerful method of analysing language using large digital collections of text (corpora) and computational tools.
Over eight weeks, you'll gain the skills to build, query, and interpret corpora using cutting-edge software developed at Lancaster University. You'll explore how corpus methods provide insight into real-world language use across fields such as discourse analysis, sociolinguistics, language education, language testing and digital communication. Designed for the AI age, this course equips you with essential tools for exploring language in a data-driven world.
