Resources and links

This section provides introductory reading on corpora and corpus linguistics and many helpful resources for working with corpus analysis software (step-by-step guides on this website and helpful links). It also links to pages that survey existing corpora - these are especially valuable if you already have a research question in mind and are trying to find a suitable corpus to explore it.

Office hour for corpus-linguistic projects

The office hour mainly provides three types of services: 1. technical support (if you have problems using a corpus or concordancer), 2. corpus supply (we can try to provide you with the corpora you need for your study), 3. (limited) creative input (e.g. on the choice of corpus for a particular research question or on methodological issues). Please note, however, that the office hour is not a substitute for meetings with your professor! Any content-related questions must be discussed with her or him.

 Before you visit the office hour: Read the FAQs here!
