History, Features, and Typology of Language Corpora
This book discusses key issues of corpus linguistics like the definition of the corpus,
primary features of a corpus, and utilization and limitations of corpora. It presents a
unique classification scheme of language corpora to show how they can be studied from
the perspective of genre, nature, text type, purpose, and application. A reference to
parallel translation corpus is mandatory in the discussion of corpus generation, which
the authors thoroughly address here, with a focus on Indian language corpora and
English. Web-text corpus, a new development in corpus linguistics, is also discussed
with elaborate reference to Indian web text corpora. The book also presents a short
history of corpus generation and provides scenarios before and after the advent of
computer-generated digital corpora.
This bookhas several important features: it discusses many technical issues of the field
in a lucid manner; contains extensive new diagrams and charts for easy comprehension*
and presents discussions in simplified English to cater to the needs of non-nati\e
English readers. This is an important resource authored by academics who have mam.
years of experience teaching and researching corpus linguistics. Its focus on Indian
languages and on English corpora makes it applicable to students of graduate and
postgraduate courses in applied linguistics, computational linguistics and language
processing in South Asia and across countries where English is spoken as a first or
second language. |
