A good corpus tool is the key to a comprehensive lexicographic analysis—a corpus without a good tool to access it is of little use. Both corpus compilation and corpus tools have been swept along by general technological advances over the last three decades. Compiling and storing corpora has become far faster and easier, so corpora tend to be much larger than previous ones. Most of the first COBUILD dictionary was produced from a corpus of eight million words. Several of the leading English dictionaries of the 1990s were produced using the British National Corpus (BNC), of 100 million words. Current lexico- graphic projects we are involved in use corpora of around a billion words—though this is still less than one hundredth of one percent of the English language text available on the Web (see Rundell, this volume). The amount of data to analyse has thus increased significantly, and corpus tools have had to be improved to assist lexicographers in adapting to this change. Corpus tools have become faster, more multifunctional, and customizable. In the COBUILD project, getting concordance output took a long time and then the concordances were printed on paper and handed out to lexicographers (Clear 1987).

  • ENGLISH CONTEMPORARY CORPORA Parpieva Shahnoza Muratovna, Uzbekistan State World Languages University, Second Year Master’S Student
    Proceedings of International Congress on Multidisciplinary Studies Hosted from Samsun, Turkey https://conferencepublication.com December 24th, 2020 ENGLISH CONTEMPORARY CORPORA Parpieva Shahnoza Muratovna, Uzbekistan state world languages university, second year master’s student A linguistic corpus is a collection of texts created in accordance with certain principles (machine- readable, unified, structured, marked up, philologically competent) and provided with a specialized search engine. The linguistic corpus can include both written texts (newspaper, magazine articles and literary works) and spoken transcripts of radio and television programs. Depending on the purpose of its creation, the corpus may include texts of one or more authors of different literary genres, written in a certain historical period. The entire array of texts in the corpus is systematized. The corpus records the order of each word in the sentence in relation to other words and also takes into account the frequency of its use in this corpus. The largest number of corpora is based on the English language, which can be explained by its prevalence, as well as the high level of development of corpus linguistics in the United States and in Great Britain. Among the first national corpora was the British National Corpus (BNC), which is considered as a reference today, since most modern linguistic corpora were created on its model. This corpus was developed at the Oxford University with the participation of the Lancaster University, the British Library, the Oxford University Press, Longman and W. & R. Chambers from 1991 to 1994. The volume of the corpus is more than 100 million words, 90 percent of which correspond to written texts, 10 percent – to spoken ones [1].

  • The Design and the Construction of the Traditional Arabic Lexicons Corpus (The TAL-Corpus)
    Modern Applied Science; Vol. 13, No. 2; 2019 ISSN 1913-1844 E-ISSN 1913-1852 Published by Canadian Center of Science and Education The Design and the Construction of the Traditional Arabic Lexicons Corpus (The TAL-Corpus) Majdi Sawalha1 1 Department of Computer Information Systems, King Abdullah II School for Information Technology, The University of Jordan, Amman, Jordan. E-mail: [email protected] Correspondence: Majdi Sawalha, Department of Computer Information Systems, King Abdullah II School for Information Technology, The University of Jordan, Amman, 11942, Jordan. E-mail: [email protected] Received: Oct. 20, 2018 Accepted: Nov. 28, 2018 Online Published: January 9, 2019 doi:10.5539/mas.v13n2p95 URL: https://doi.org/10.5539/mas.v13n2p95 Abstract Arabic lexicography is a well-established and deep-rooted art of Arabic literature. Computational lexicography, invests computational and storage powers of modern computers, to accelerate long-term efforts in lexicographic projects. A collection of 23 machine-readable dictionaries, which are freely available on the web, were used to build the Corpus of Traditional Arabic lexicons (the TAL-Corpus). The purpose for constructing the TAL-Corpus is to collect and organize well-established and long traditions of traditional Arabic lexicons which can also be used to create new corpus-based Arabic dictionaries. The compilation of the TAL-Corpus followed standard design and development criteria that informed major decisions for corpus creation. The corpus building process involved extracting information from disparate formats and merging traditional Arabic lexicons. As a result, the TAL-Corpus contains more than 14 million words and over 2 million word types (different words).

We will look first at citations and then – in greater detail – at lexicographic corpora. Software for querying the data in a corpus is discussed in the next chapter (§4.3.1), and the process of analysing corpus data to create dictionary text is covered in Chapters 8 and 9. 3.1 What makes a dictionary ‘reliable’? Dictionaries describe the vocabulary of a language. For any given word, a good dictionary tells its readers the ways in which that word typically contributes to the meaning of an utterance, the ways in which it combines with other words, the types of text that it tends to occur in, and so on. Clearly it is desirable that this account is reliable. A reliable dictionary is one whose generalizations about word behaviour approximate closely to the ways in which people normally use (and understand) language when engaging in real communicative acts (such as writing novels or business Copyright © 2008.

  • The Corpus of Contemporary American English As the First Reliable Monitor Corpus of English
    The Corpus of Contemporary American English as the first reliable monitor corpus of English ............................................................................................................................................................ Mark Davies Brigham Young University, Provo, UT, USA ....................................................................................................................................... Abstract The Corpus of Contemporary American English is the first large, genre-balanced corpus of any language, which has been designed and constructed from the ground up as a ‘monitor corpus’, and which can be used to accurately track and study recent changes in the language. The 400 million words corpus is evenly divided between spoken, fiction, popular magazines, newspapers, and academic journals. Most importantly, the genre balance stays almost exactly the same from year to year, which allows it to accurately model changes in the ‘real world’. After discussing the corpus design, we provide a number of concrete examples of how the corpus can be used to look at recent changes in English, including morph- ology (new suffixes –friendly and –gate), syntax (including prescriptive rules, Correspondence: quotative like, so not ADJ, the get passive, resultatives, and verb complementa- Mark Davies, Linguistics and tion), semantics (such as changes in meaning with web, green, or gay), and lexis–– English Language, Brigham including word and phrase frequency by year, and using the corpus architecture Young University.
