Abstract

Corpus linguistics is a field of study that analyzes language through large collections of textual data, known as corpora. The method allows researchers to explore patterns and structures in language that are difficult to capture through traditional linguistic analysis. With the advent of computational tools and advancements in technology, corpus linguistics has grown from a niche area to one that impacts numerous fields including linguistics, lexicography, applied linguistics, language teaching, and natural language processing. This review article provides an overview of the core methods used in corpus linguistics, key applications in various disciplines, and emerging trends that are reshaping the future of the field. The article explores both qualitative and quantitative approaches, examines how corpora are compiled and analyzed, and discusses the challenges and future directions in corpus-based research.
