Thank you so much for producing these videos! I'm doing my dissertation and planning to use corpus-based discourse analysis as my method. These videos are easy to understand and very helpful.

A frequency list is a list of words and their frequencies in a corpus. It usually ranks them from most to least frequent. It can be helpful to investigate the role of frequency on learners’ L2 vocabulary knowledge in a given language for instance. I recommend this reference if you want to read about frequency and vocabulary knowledge: Milton, J. (2009). Measuring second language vocabulary acquisition
In the corpus-based approach, researchers usually begin with a preconceived hypothesis (often based on a particular linguistic theory), and then they use a corpus to prove or disprove the hypothesis. In the corpus-driven approach, researchers start with no initial hypothesis or theoretical posture. They begin investigating a particular linguistic phenomenon in a corpus, and various hypotheses emerge as the analysis proceeds. That is, the corpus itself is the sole source of your hypotheses about language.
