Keywords:
Corpus linguistics, language research, authentic language data, language analysis, lexicography, translation studies, computational linguistics, empirical methodsAbstract
This article explores the significance of corpus linguistics in modern language research. It highlights how large, structured collections of authentic language data enable linguists to analyze language use, patterns, and variations more accurately and objectively. The study discusses the applications of corpus linguistics in areas such as language teaching, lexicography, translation studies, and computational linguistics. Emphasis is placed on the advantages of corpus-based methods over traditional intuition-based approaches, demonstrating how corpus linguistics contributes to a deeper understanding of language phenomena and supports empirical research in linguistics.
