Wooow. Thank you sooooo much. You have taught me in 20 minutes what 6 professors have could not in a whole semsetser hahaha. thank you sooo much, Yassine
Yassine, you are an amazing instructor. Your presentation style is exceptionally clear, precise, calm, understanding, attractive, and easy to the ears. Your tone is considerate and very encouraging. Thank you for making available your knowledge in such a professional, genuine, and voluntary manner. You made analysing a corpus less daunting and cool. Thanks a mill.
Thank you so much for your work! I wanted to introduce a couple of fresh undergrads to the basics of corpus linguistics in simple english and took pointers from your series. It's been very useful for me.
I have never done this stuff before but I am using it for my masters thesis and this video has helped tremendously! thank you so much for demystifying this process so neatly and straightforwardly
Hi all! I used AntConc 3.5.8 in this video. There are a few changes in the latest version of the software (4.0.2) so some of things I show here may not look/work exactly the same way. If anything is unclear, feel free to email me. If you want to follow things exactly as I show in the video, you can always download the previous version: www.laurenceanthony.net/software/antconc/ 0:00 Compiling a corpus 6:33 Load corpus in AntConc 7:05 WordList Tool (Rank your corpus words by frequency) 10:15 Concordance Tool (see keywords in context) 14:25 Collocates Tool (look for collocations) 19:56 See collocations in context
I guess ur face is changin changin... Every video Im watchin..🙄 well tomorrows my exam... Pray for me... N yeah thanks alot for ur these videos they r helpin me alot... From Pakistam
Hi, Mr. Yassine Thank you very much for your instructive tutorial about Corpus Linguistics. IT IS REALLY HELPFUL. I just want to tell you that I will make reference to these videos. Thank you again.
Thank you so much for your crystal clear explenations! You really helped me:) Thank you for sharing your knowledge in such a genuine and professional way:D
THANK VERY MUCH Yassine! I'm currently undertaking a corpus linguistics course, and it seems to be an interesting field. I need to consult you on one matter, which is related to a project that I'm willing to work on in this field, and more particularly it is related to the so-called "Palestinian-Israeli conflict". I will be compiling a corpus from news reports as you did in this video. however, I need to ask for more details. if you have any other social media accounts, please let me know so that I can send you more details no the topic.
Hello Yasser. Thank you for your help, it has built up my vision of putting together a linguistic corpus. I do have questions: would it still be a corpus if I record the narratives that children make about a story that I tell them? I know this is an elicited linguistic task, and not entirely natural as I direct the interaction towards the narrative goal. Also, would it still be called a corpus if the individuals are selected by their diagnosis of developmental language disorder?. Greetings!
Hello! Thanks for your insightful information. I have a question though. I have downloaded AntConc, but once I upload any file and click on view file, the text is presented in meaningless symbols ,though my text is in English . I'm really struggling. It doesn't work for me. I hope u see my comment!
Hi Mohammed! These tools and techniques are just a means to an end. The conclusions that you draw depend entirely on your research questions. There isn't a one-fit-all answer here :)
My Pleasure! Thanks for watching! Yes it can. The KWIC tool in Lancsbox is similar to concordance here, the Words tool in Lancsbox is like the WordList tool here, and the GraphColl tool is like the collocates tool but it has more options like data visualization and a range of statistical measures for collocations to choose from.
@@YassineIabdounane If someone committed a crime and had a written statement of what happen. Could this help with the truthfulness of the statement by looking at certain text, as this program does?
As long as the statement itself is truthful, yes. Keep in mind that the software displays the text (or part of it) as it is. If the statement is part of a larger text, you could search for the statement you have in mind and the software would show it to you as it is used in context (concordance). I hope I answered your question :)
As far as I know, LancsBox reads pdf files. So, you can simply import them there and work on them without the need to convert them to .TXT files. If you want to use AntConc however, then I'm afraid you'll need to convert all the documents to .TXT files..
Hi. My pleasure I'm glad you find the videos helpful. After saving the output you'll get a .txt file with all the results. After that it's up to you really. You can copy everything in Excel and save it in a XLS format, or .DOCX and so on. It all depends on your objectives 😊
