讲座内容:

Corpus linguistics, as an empirical view on and approach to language, has a strong Anglo-American origin, much of which has been rather implicit. While the American approach has a prevalent focus on the written language necessitated by the need of language education, the British tradition has been fundamentally rooted in speech. This talk will primarily describe the British tradition and aim to present a chronological perspective on the evolution of this discipline. In particular, it will attempt to re-construct a path of progression in the light of the London School of Linguistics, which has accorded paramount importance to structure and meaning, as well as lexis, based on investigations in authentic spoken utterances. Through several milestone corpora, the talk will attempt to relate the importance of speech to current-day, contemporaneous requirements on linguistic research.
