Lecture 9 The story of corpus linguistics, from past to future

Extracting information from a text or texts

• entity extraction
• text mining (see Feldman and Sanger 2007)
• data mining – the identification of patterns and extraction of information across very large datasets
• biomedical text mining (see Cohen 2010) – that is, extracting information from large collections of text (usually academic papers) on biology or medicine

Corpus linguistics vs computational linguistics

• Corpus linguistics is ultimately about finding out about the nature and usage of language. While computational linguistics may also be concerned with modelling the nature of language computationally, it is in addition focused on solving technical problems involving language (McEnery, Corpus Linguistics, 2007)
