Description

This course is an introduction to the rapidly growing field of Corpus Linguistics. Corpus Linguistics (CL) is a method to retrieve data to study natural occurring language in different contexts. Retrieval of data is usually carried out with the aid of different types of software. Corpora are machine-readable collections of texts compiled to explore how language is used in real communication, written or spoken. The course combines theoretical insights relating to relevant research questions, criteria and methods for evaluating, building and annotating corpora with exploratory hands-on language lab sessions using tools that have been developed for searching and organizing the data as well as well methods for corpus building and annotation. The main aim is to familiarize the student with how to master the use of language corpora for different purposes in linguistic research.

Note!

This course is not open as a freestanding course next semester. It can be open for application within a programme or for students in an exchange programme. Please ask your academic advisor for information.

How to apply

Lund University uses a national application system run by University Admissions in Sweden. It is only possible to apply during the application periods: October–January for autumn semester and June–August for spring semester.

Extended application deadline

Sometimes the application deadline is extended for a specific programme or course. In these cases you will find the message "open for late application" by the programme/course information on universityadmissions.se. You apply with the usual application steps. As long as this message is showing, it is possible to apply, but late applications are processed in order of date, so it is still important to apply as soon as possible. Please note that if the programme/course does not have an extended deadline, it is not possible to apply late.

First or Second Admission Round?

All international students are encouraged to apply to the First admission round. This round takes place many months before the start of a semester and gives students the time they need to pay their tuition fees, apply for and receive their residence permit (if required), find housing, etc.

The Second admission round is an alternative for students from EU/EEA countries as they do not need a residence permit. Non-EU/EEA students will most likely not have enough time to obtain their permit before the start of the semester. However, even EU/EEA students are advised to apply during the First admission round, as some programmes can be applied for only in the January round. Also, this provides applicants with an admission decision much earlier, which is helpful in making decisions about their studies.

Tuition Fees
