Hi Yassine, did you make any follow-ups videos on the other 4 aspects of linguistic studies that can be used with corpus. You mentioned in the previous video #8 around 7 common fields to carry on corpus research and that you would further have videos explaining those in more details. On video #8, you've just only mentioned the first three categories of: sociolinguistics, language change, and language structure. I cannot find the other four ones: L1 and L2 acquisition, vocabulary acquisition, teaching and material development, and discourse analysis.
Hello Yassine I hope you are doing well. I have a question Is there any "Comparison of male and female speech" for Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA) ? How can I compare men and women speech by using COCA ? Is there any alternative site for comaring men and women speech ? Thank you
Hi Jasur. As far as I know, you cannot compare male and female speech using COCA (at least in www.english-corpora.org/coca/ you can't). You can do that though using the BNC64: corpora.lancs.ac.uk/bnc64/ It is a 1.5 million word corpus made of 64 texts (produced by 32 men and 32 women). I hope you find it useful :)
Hi, amazing informative video. Thanks a lot. I was looking for GloWbE cirpus analysis and found very few videos on that. Thanks. (1) Can you please help me - how to analyze "preposition +verb" combinations in GloWbE corpus? How can I find which countries used which prep+verb combinations? Please give me some directions/ if you want I can contact u by email/ zoom. (2) Please make a full video only on GloWbE corpus, telling how to use all the options on the web page? Really helpful video. Thanks a lot again. After long time searching I found this video. 👍👍❤️
Hi, thank you for your kind words. I'm glad you find the video helpful. Feel free to email me, we can arrange something. My email is in the description :)
Hi Yassine, thank you so much for the amazing tutorial! I have a question and hope I´ll receive an answer ASAP :) how can I search for two words occurring in same sentences (not necessarily immediately next to each other) in COCA. That is, if I wanted to do an association measure to see what is the chance when for example "race" occurs, "gender" will also occur at some point in the same sentence??
Hi Badia, my pleasure! When you visit www.english-corpora.org/coca/ click on the plus sign next to "browse", then click on "collocates". Once you do that, enter the keyword, race for example, (or race_n* if you are interested in "race" as a noun) then, set the context to its left and right according to your preference (3 words to the left, 3 words to the right for example). Hit enter and voila, that should give you a list of all the words that occur with your keyword sorted by frequency. As for the association measure used, that would be the MI score. The higher the MI score, the more exclusive the words are to each other. You can of course sort them by MI score instead of frequency. I hope this answers your question :)
@@YassineIabdounane thank u for the quick answer :) Yeah, I know how to do a collocation search. what I want to know is how to search for "race+gender" as one search string. Cause I need to create a race& gender matrix in R and apply a fisher test to it to get a p-value. so I searched for race alone (got frequencies), then gender alone (got frequencies), but "race and gender" together, couldn´t figure out how to do it :/
I'm afraid I don't know a solution to this :/ I tried a couple of things and searched online but nothing helped.. If you figure it out kindly let me know, I'd be very grateful :)
Oh! You can read pages 42-43 in this reference: Brezina, V. (2018). Statistics in Corpus Linguistics: A Practical Guide. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. I hope this helps :)
Then there is a challenge of normalizing the corpus at class level as the teacher may not have enough sourced to analyse and conclude that is is authentic corpus
