Corpus linguistics

Corpus linguistics deals with huge online collections of texts, such as newspapers, novels, or even spoken language. This language data is annotated with linguistic categories. The data can be searched systematically with respect to a linguistic research question or in order to test linguistic theories on naturally occurring language. In Graz, we do corpus research in many different languages ranging from German (and its varieties), English and Romance languages to Slavic and Arabic languages.
