Official Course Description
This seminar is concerned with methods of the corpus-based and computer aided analysis of language. We are going to discuss types of research questions and applications that are suitably pursued by means of corpus and computational linguistic methods and techniques. Examples are lexicological questions such as research on terminology as well as collocations and other types of multi-word lexical units, the corpus-based description of special-purpose grammars, e.g. extraction of register-specific subcategorization patterns, and the role of corpora in statistical language modelling.
