Browse Hierarchy EAL7210: Methods of Text and Corpus Analysis

Back to AR-SLLF-SLLF: School of Languages Linguistics and Film
The course offers an overview of key theoretical and methodological frameworks for doing discourse analysis in applied linguistics. Particular attention is paid to corpus-assisted studies of discourse which offer systematic insights in a variety of registers and settings. The module introduces students to corpus-assisted discourse analysis in two stages. The first part of the module will focus on the theoretical and practical aspects underlying discourse analysis. Students will learn how to systematically relate linguistic and semiotic properties of texts to the broader social and cultural contexts of which they are a part, and thereby to contribute to (1) the understanding and critique of social problems and inequalities, and (2) the development of critical language awareness in language learners. The second part will introduce the principles and theoretical constructs developed within corpus linguistics and corpus-assisted discourse analysis, as well as some of the most widely used corpora and corpus software.
