Learning outcomes
|
The course introduces the Czech national corpus (CNC) project and the multiligual corpora of European languages project ? InterCorp. The students will learn how to use the large number of functions of the corpora managers and how to investigate the appearance, use, collocation, frequency of various words or part of speech, their shapes or doublet as grammar and stylistics phenomenon. The full versions of different CNC corpora, most of them on contemporary Czech language base or on contemporary language base of some other European languages are used at the seminars. The CNC and InterCorp are useful for students, translators and interpreters, future teachers, sociologists and political science students and scholars, as well for everybody who enjoy to work with real data, represented by language.
The student is trained in using the electronic databank of the Czech National Corpus and InterCorp to investigate linguistically Czech and other European languages on its basis.
