A web based course in corpus linguistics is now available at:
http://www.ling.lancs.ac.uk/monkey/ihe/linguistics/contents.htm
The course is entirely free, and access to it is unrestricted.
The course is designed as:
1.) A brief introduction to corpus linguistics for those who
want to find out more
2.) A cut down version of the Corpus Linguistics book from
EUP to be used for convenience and in laboratory sessions
The site has four sections:
1.) Early corpus linguistics and the Chomskyan revolution
2.) What is a corpus and what is in it?
3.) Quantitative data
4.) The use of corpora in language studies
Each section finishes with an interactive self test.
This resource has been developed as part of a collaborative venture between
the Innovation in Higher Education programme of Lancaster University, Edinburgh
University Press and the Dept. Linguistics of Lancaster University.
Please feel free to mail feedback to us - we will try to make the site as
responsive and adaptable as possible.
