1、语料库语言学维基百科语料库语言学(英语：corpus linguistics)是基于语言运用的实例(即语料库)的语言讨 论。语料库语言学可以对自然语言进行语法与句法分析，还可以讨论它与其他语言的关系。 语料库最初由手工完成，而现在主要是由计算机自动完成。语料库语言学家信任，牢靠的语言分析需建立在新奇的语料、自然的语言环境，和最小的试 验干扰之上。在语料库语言学中，语料标注的意义众说纷纭，从约翰辛克莱主见最少量 的标注，并允许文本“为自己说话，至英语用法调杳组”(设在伦敦高校学院)2鼓舞更多 的标注，并认为它是通向更完备和严谨的语言理解的道路。名目1历史2方法3参考文献o3.1引用o3.2期刊o

7、分割，词性标注，以及使用依存语法进行的句 法分析。网方法编辑语料库语言学已经有了一大批讨论方法，这些讨论方法都试图找到从数据到理论的解决方 案。瓦利斯和尼尔森最先介绍了他们的3A观点（英语：3A perspective）：注释（英语: Annotation）,抽象（英语：Abstraction）和分析（英语:Analysis） o 注释包括语料的数据库方案。注释可能包括结构标注，词性标注，句法分析和其他 形式。 抽象包括该方案在理论上的启发式模型或数据集中的翻译（映射）。抽象通常包括 面对语言学家的定向搜寻，但也可能包括句法讨论者的句法规章学习。 分析包括统计学探测，操纵和对数据集的归纳概括。

8、分析可能包括统计学评估，规章库优化和学问探究方法。如今大多数词汇语料库采纳词性标注（英语：part-of-speech-tagged）。然而，即使是采纳 未标注语料的语料库语言学家也无疑会使用一些方法来从句子中隔离出他们感爱好的词。在 这种状况下，注释和抽象在词汇搜素中结合起来了。发布标注语料库的优点是其他用户可以在语料库中进行讨论与试验。语言学家与其他相关人 士就可以采用语料库来工作通过数据共享，语料库语言学家能将语料库视为语言研讨的 核心，而不是学问的源泉。Corpus linguisticsFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaCorpus lingu

9、istics is the study of language as expressed in samples (corpora) of “real world text.

27、us Linguistics has generated a number of research methods, attempting to trace a path from data to theory. Wallis and Nelson (2001)3 first introduced what they called the 3A perspective: Annotation, Abstraction and Analysis. Annotation consists of the application of a scheme to texts. Annotations ma

Abstraction consists of the translation (mapping) of terms in the scheme to terms in a theoretically motivated model or dataset. Abstraction typically includes linguist-directed search but may include e.

Analysis might include statistical evaluations, optimisation of rule-bases or knowledge discovery methods.Most lexical corpora today are part-of-speech-tagged (POS-tagged). Howe

In such situations annotation and abstraction are combined in a lexical search.The advantage of publishing an annotated corpus is that other users can then perform experiments on the

31、 corpus (through corpus managers), Linguists with other interests and differing perspectives than the originators can exploit this work. By sharing data, corpus linguists are able to treat the corpus as a locus of linguistic debate, rather than as an exhaustive fount of knowledge.Recent studies have suggested treatment outcome in adolescents with social anxiety disorder can also be assessed by analysing language by means of Corpus Linguistics 也
