Abstract:

This volume highlights the ways in which recent developments in corpus
linguistics and natural language processing can engage with topics
across language studies, humanities and social science disciplines.

New approaches have emerged in recent years that blur disciplinary
boundaries, facilitated by factors such as the application of
computational methods, access to large data sets, and the sharing of
code, as well as continual advances in technologies related to data
storage, retrieval, and processing. The “march of data” denotes an
area at the border region of linguistics, humanities, and social
science disciplines, but also the inevitable development of the
underlying technologies that drive analysis in these subject areas.

Organized into 3 sections, the chapters are connected by the
underlying thread of linguistic corpora: how they can be created, how
they can shed light on varieties or registers, and how their metadata
can be utilized to better understand the internal structure of similar
resources. While some chapters in the volume make use of
well-established existing corpora, others analyze data from platforms
such as YouTube, Twitter or Reddit. The volume provides insight into
the diversity of methods, approaches, and corpora that inform our
understanding of the “border regions” between the realms of data
science, language/linguistics, and social or cultural studies.
