Students will evaluate, design, and collect corpora based on principles of statistical sampling for their areas of interest

Students will use quantitative (e.g., frequency, collocation, keyword) and qualitative techniques (e.g., concordance analysis) to analyze patterns in language across text types and across time using flexible queries

Students will become familiar with primary literature in the field of corpus linguistics and engage with the strengths and weaknesses of the field

Students will communicate about corpus linguistics (e.g., by leading discussions and producing professional presentations, reports, and academic research articles)

Students will apply corpus methods to address problems across sub-disciplines of linguistics

Students will apply corpus methods to address real world problems, such as in language teaching, language learning, language assessment, editing, law, computational linguistics, lexicography, and even in gospel study
