1 hora por semana. In the third and fourth classes, we will pose a research question and begin guided research to extract the data in order to answer the question. Students have the option to turn the research question from either the third or fourth class into a project paper, and write up the project, drawing conclusions.Evaluación

This course teaches students how to analyze language using large collections of real-world texts, called corpora. Students will learn how to uncover patterns in language data, study changes in word usage over time, and explore questions about the ownership and creativity of linguistic elements. The first topic is an introduction to corpus linguistics: what it is and why it matters. Then we will look at using corpora to find patterns in words, collocations, and frequencies. The second week, we move to investigating how the meaning and use of a specific word change over time, and we finish by exploring whether a particular morpheme can be considered proprietary and how linguistic ownership works. Each lesson includes a mix of direct instruction, hands-on exploration, and discussion, ensuring that students both understand the concepts and apply them in meaningful ways. I teach using a combination of interactive lectures, hands-on exercises, group discussions, and, most importantly, real-world corpora to work on guided tasks that deepen their understanding of language analysis. Examples will be relevant and accessible, with opportunities for collaboration and creativity. My teaching style is highly interactive and student-centered. I strive to make learning approachable and engaging by presenting complex ideas in a clear, relatable way. I encourage curiosity and active participation, creating a supportive space where students feel confident asking questions and exploring new concepts. The course is designed to be highly engaging and collaborative, with plenty of opportunities for one-on-one interaction and group engagement.

This class requires students to create a free account on https://www.english-corpora.org/, which provides access to billions of words of content from various sources such as the web, news publications, magazines, and other genres. Parents should be aware that this platform enables real-time research on authentic language usage. While I guide students carefully in navigating the data and I choose projects that avoid explicit or inappropriate language, the content reflects real-world language use and may occasionally include sensitive material. Accounts are used solely for accessing the corpora, and no personal information beyond account creation is required.
