Corpus Linguistics in Language Teaching

Abstract

The article deals with the corpus linguistics as one of the most promising areas in modern theoretical and applied linguistics, based on the use of language electronic corpora and corpus technologies. A corpus of a language is a collection of texts in a given language in electronic form, specially processed (“annotated”), so that a language researcher can quickly and completely find information about the language that interests him in the corpus. Depending on the nature of the abstract, it is possible to search by the grammatical characteristics of words and sentences of the language (morphological, syntactic, semantic parameters), as well as by various characteristics of the texts themselves included in the corpus: by author, date of creation of the text, genre, subject, etc.
