Course Aims

Corpus and empirical linguistics is one of the most important developments in language studies with an emphasis on the use of large-scale corpus data, empirical observations, quantitative methods, and scientifically verifiable findings. It represents a major departure from theoretical linguistics to real-world applications and has continued to generate new linguistic findings, new discoveries and new industries. It has played a very important role in some of the most influential areas such as speech and language technology, knowledge engineering, and cognitive science. This course serves as an introduction to a range of important issues and topics within this area of rapid development.
