Corpus Linguistics

Corpus linguistics has been described as an approach, a theory and a method, and our discussions explore the advantages and limitations of the tools, technology and texts associated with corpus linguistics research.

In the Corpus Linguistics Satellite Group, we are interested in how corpora and corpus linguistic methods can be used to answer questions about language, society, history and cognition. Our work is diverse: multilingual, interdisciplinary, theoretical and applied, seeking to address real-world problems and challenges. Some of the areas investigated using corpus linguistic approaches include language learning and teaching, Artificial Intelligence, political discourse, critical discourse analysis, historical linguistics, sociolinguistics, health communication, and forensic linguistics.

The corpus linguistics satellite is affiliated with the N8 Computational Intensive Research (CIR) themes 'Digital Humanities' and 'Machine Learning'; a support network that spans eight research-intensive universities in the north of England. For more information, start here: N8 CIR Themes
