This graduate seminar is designed to expose students to a wide range of corpus-based studies to answer questions of interest to applied linguists and language educators. We will examine studies that use large text corpora for describing and analyzing native and learner language from diverse perspectives as well as for language teaching and learning, focusing on theoretical, methodological, and empirical/pedagogical issues. Students will develop hands-on skills applicable to research topics of their own interest. Previous knowledge of corpus linguistics or a programming language is not assumed.
