Welcome to ENC2036. This is a grad-level course, which is devoted to Corpus Linguistics. Have you decided to embark on a digital journey to your future career, there are a series of courses provided in the Department of English, NTNU, Taiwan, offerring necessary inter-disciplinary skills and knowledge. This course requires as prerequisite basic knoweldge of computational coding. It is highly recommended for students to have taken ENC2055 or other equivalents before taking this course. Please see the FAQ of the course webiste for more information about the prerequisite.
Course Objective
This course aims to introduce theories and practices of Corpus Linguistics as a scientific discipline of its own. Corpus Linguistics has now been considered an interdisciplinary subject, requiring knowledge of linguistic theories, quantitative statistics and data processing. Therefore, this course aims to provide the necessary foundation as well as computational skills for students who are interested in conducting corpus-based linguistic research or language-related research. Students are expected to learn:
- the methodological foundations of Corpus Linguistics
- the theoretical bases of Corpus Linguistics
- the technical designs and configuration of standard corpora
- how to adopt corpus linguistics as a scientific method in terms of:
- corpus creation
- operationalization
- data retrieval
- quantifying research questions
- significance testing
- the common applications of corpus-linguistic methodology:
- concordances
- frequency lists
- collocations
- keywords
- lexical bundles
- word clouds
- vector-space representation of words and texts
Directed by John Junkerman. With Noam Chomsky, Carol Chomsky. This documentary compiles a series of Noam Chomsky's interviews and lectures that address the events of 9/11. Practice In small groups of 3 to 4 people, choose one of the problems given and try to apply the process of doing applied linguistics. You will have 1 hour to discuss each of the problem and go through the process. After that, each of your proposals will be discussed as a whole class.

This course is extremely hands-on and will lead the students through classic examples of these corpus-based applications via in-class tutorial sessions and take-home assignments. The main objective of this course is to provide students enough computational skills to perform similar corpus-based analyses on their own data or research questions. Also, it will provide specific hands-on tutorials to equip students with the necessary skills of text and statistical processing. This course will be a prerequisite for more advanced courses such as Computational Linguistics and Quantitative Corpus Linguistics.

- Linguistics 5: Introduction to Language and Linguistics Autumn, 2013. The aim of this course is to introduce students to the main methods and results of linguistics, with an emphasis on their practical value in ordinary life. This course is a general survey of the field of linguistics.
Textbook
We will be using Stefanowitch (2019) as our reference material for the course. However, we will stress the hands-on implementation of the ideas and methods covered in the book.
Also, there are a few more reference books listed at the end of the section, which I would highly recommend (e.g., Gries (2018), Baayen (2008), Brezina (2018), McEnery and Hardie (2011)).
Course Website
We have a course website. You may need a password to access the course materials. If you are an officially enrolled student, please ask the instructor for the passcode.
Please read the FAQ of the course website before course registration.

Research Interests: Syntax, Syntax-Morphology Interface, Syntax-Semantics Interface
Dr. Erik Zyman's research is in theoretical syntax, and it’s driven by the following questions: (1) What principles, elementary operations, and atomic elements determine how lexical items can and can’t be combined to form larger syntactic units? (2) Which of those are universal, which vary crosslinguistically, and why? (3) What are their cognitive (and other) underpinnings? Erik is interested in many syntactic processes and phenomena: (External and Internal) Merge, constituency, selection, projection, adjunction, phases and (anti)locality, clause structure and functional sequences, “wordhood” and (anti)mirror effects, and more. In short, he seeks to characterize the elementary operations that build syntactic structures and to determine why they have the properties they do. His research languages have included English, Latin, and P’urhepecha, among others.
