What is a text corpus?
Text corpus is a collection of texts, spoken or written, which is the basis for researching linguistics Corpus. The storage of these large texts of texts allows scientists to analyze different aspects of any language. The text corpus is an effective way to conduct research, because once the material has gathered, it can be used to explore various language problems, including morphology, syntax, vocabulary and pragmatics. Unlike the older methods of performing linguistic research, the text corpus allows scientists to look at the tongue according to how it is actually used in context, rather than how it could be hypothetically used. Linguists usually have access to much larger data samples than when they had to limit themselves to data that could be collected in a limited period of time with limited financial resources.
Corpora is usually stored on a computer, so computer software programs can be created to facilitate research. One common method of using Corpus text is to calculate the total number of wordsto the texts, then calculate and evaluate the number of times some words have appeared. The ratio, which is created between the number of overall words and specific words, is known as Zipf's law. This ratio helps to explain the frequency of words in language. Understanding the ZIPF law helps computer programmers to design computer software that meets the requirements of the language. They can count and predict how often certain words and phrases will be used as an input.
Another way to use a text corpus is to mark specific elements in it that the researcher wants to study. An example of how this would be used is to calculate how many times a passive voice will appear in different text genres. The labeling was also useful in creating computer programs that help people in their daily lives. Part of the speech marking was decisive for the development of the voice recognition software. In English, for exampleD The same word can have more than one part of speech. Multisyllabic words are often emphasized differently to indicate which part of the speech is used. The noun "object" carries its stress on the first syllable, but on the second syllable is emphasized the verb "object". Marking the substantic form "Object" helps the computer program to read out loud and recognize it when a person says a person.
Text corpus are useful for both human linguistics and for computational linguistics. They allow research that helps people better understand the language that people use, which in turn helps to develop language computers. Large jumps have been made in voice recognition technology, allowing consumers to verbally control computers in their offices, houses and vehicles. Continued progress will allow people to communicate with computers as naturally as each other.
