Information About

Text Corpus




In order to make the corpora more useful for doing linguistic research, they are often subjected to a process known as ''annotation''.
An example of annotating a corpus is Part-of-speech Tagging , or ''POS-tagging'', in which information about each word's part of speech (verb, noun, adjective, etc.) are added to the corpus in the form of ''tags''. Another example is indicating the Lemma (base) form of each word. When the language of the corpus is not a working language of the researchers who use it, interlinear Gloss ing is used to make the annotation bilingual.

Corpora are the main knowledge base in Corpus Linguistics . The analysis and processing of various types of corpora are also the subject of much work in Computational Linguistics , Speech Recognition and Machine Translation , where they are often used to create Hidden Markov Model s for POS-tagging and other purposes.

Text corpora are also used in the study of Historical Document s, for example in attempts to Decipher ancient scripts, or in Biblical Scholarship .
