Free online course in corpus linguistics

Would you like to learn how to analyse large amounts of language data using
computer tools? Would you like to learn about the technology which is used
in the production of all major dictionaries and grammar books of English?

https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/corpus-linguistics

The language of the course is English; subtitles and transcripts for main

The course offers a practical introduction to corpus linguistics, an
extremely versatile methodology of language analysis using computers. Over
eight weeks, course participants will be equipped with skills necessary for
collecting and analysing large digital collections of text (corpora) and

and teaching.

The course covers the following areas and corpus techniques:


Week 1: Introduction to corpus linguistics and basic techniques:
concordancing
Week 2: Further corpus techniques: collocation and keywords
Week 3: Corpus-based discourse analysis
Week 4: Building a corpus: tagging and processing data
Week 5: Sociolinguistics: analysing BNC1994 and BNC2014
Week 6: Textbook and dictionary construction
Week 7: Language learning and corpus linguistics
Week 8: Swearing extravaganza: looking at language and society
