A Practical Course in Corpus Linguistics for Students with a Humanist Background
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a practical course in corpus linguistics meant to provide students with a humanities background with the necessary knowledge and skills for an empirical study as basis for term papers, BAor MA-thesis. The course is part of a new Bachelor program and is combined with a theoretically oriented course on corpus linguistics. The challenge is to provide students with the necessary understanding of the underlying concepts and skills of corpus linguistics without overwhelming them with too much technical detail. The course material is modular, allowing for easy updates, modifications and adaptations as well as reusable for different target groups, settings, and applications.
