The seminar introduces students to the use of electronic corpora of English. It focuses on corpus linguistics as a methodology: the students will get familiar with the corpora of present-day English available, and learn to formulate corpus queries and interpret the results (e.g. collocations, keywords, sociolinguistic data). The seminar is designed primarily for students of the second and higher years of study.

Seminář je úvodem do práce s elektronickými korpusy angličtiny. Zaměří se zejména na metody korpusové lingvistiky: studenti se seznámí s korpusy současné angličtiny, naučí se v nich vyhledávat a interpretovat výsledky (např. kolokace, klíčová slova, sociolingvistická data). Seminář je určen především pro studenty druhého a vyšších ročníků.
