 learning log 4   (25July2016)

   

This day, I learn about Corpus Linguistics by Teacher Kriangkrai Vathanalaoha from Srinakharinwirot University. He make me know that a corpus is a collection of word and can used and apply for teaching language.The history of corpus began 19 century (AD.1897)
The first corpus wrote about child diaries. There are 7 types of corpora
 1.Special Corpus  
 2.General Corpus
 3.Mutilingual Corpus
 4.Parallel Corpus 
 5.Learner Corpus
 6.Historical or Diachronic Corpus
 7.Monitor Corpus 
 After  I learn about Processes in corpus linguistic there are concordances , collocations , distribution information, keywords and dispersion plots. Then, I learn the limitation of corpus linguistics such as

•      It won't tell us if something is possible in a language
•      Any generralisations we make form corpus data can only be deductions 
•      corpora give us evidence but not information  or explanations 
•     corpora give us language out of context
