CORPUS LINGUISTICS IN DISCOURSE ANALYSIS: UNCOVERING PATTERNS IN LANGUAGE USE
Keywords:
corpus linguistics, discourse analysis, language patterns, collocation, political discourse, media bias, academic writingAbstract
This article explores the intersection of corpus linguistics and discourse analysis, highlighting how corpus-based methodologies can reveal hidden patterns in language use across different communicative contexts. Drawing on examples from political speeches, media texts, and academic discourse, the study demonstrates how large language corpora can enhance the objectivity and reliability of discourse analysis. The findings emphasize the importance of data-driven approaches in linguistic research and the potential of corpus tools to uncover subtle ideological and pragmatic nuances.
