Course Overview
A corpus is a large collection of machine-readable texts, and corpus linguists use computers to analyze the contents of a corpus. This methods course introduces the discipline of corpus linguistics and the typical tools that are used when working with corpora. We will also take a hands-on approach to the development of sign language corpora, using a dataset of Gallaudet ASL videos. Students will consider design choices and annotation guidelines as they pertain to building a corpus.
