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.
