“…For example, through examining recurring patterns of language use in large corpora, learners can be trained to collect clues as to how a semantically prosodic item is typically employed in a given genre. Armed with the contextual information from such a data‐assisted reading, the learner would be in a unique position to see how the particularities of genres may affect the semantic profile of lexical items, their co‐occurrence with certain words, and the evaluative meaning they commonly impart (see Louw & Milojkovic, , p. 342 for a detailed discussion).…”

“…It seemed to me that CPT existed to answer why certain translations "sound better". Nevertheless, at the very start I was baffled by the fact that, while other Serbian educated native speakers agreed that the second version 2 This article is a revised version of a chapter to be included in Louw and Milojkovic (2016). At the time, this initial plan did not materialise, but I am using this opportunity for the second time to acknowledge Professor Hlebec's encouragement, support and professional advice regarding chapters 7 and 8 of the book.…”

“…Initially focusing on lexis only, this principle was later transferred to grammar, suggesting that a grammar string's logical semantic prosody, or its corpus-derived subtext, consisted of its most frequent lexical variables. 1 Since a large and representative corpus of a language is a reliable source of additional information on the node's semantic aura, CPT may be used to facilitate the process of translation, as well as to adjudicate the success of particular translations (Louw and Milojkovic 2016). It stands to reason that the semantic aura of the author's expression ought to be reasonably well represented in the translation.…”

The paper focuses on two rival translations of Shakespeare's Sonnet 129 into Serbo-Chroatian (Hlebec 1987). The translator provides Version A, which faithfully conveys the stylistic nuances of the original, and is aimed to be appreciated by a sensitive reading public, and Version B, which the translator calls "adulterated", but believes to be more accessible to a wider audience. However, he feels that Version B is "somehow more likeable" (Hlebec, personal communication). This impression was shared by all seven educated native speakers of Serbian consulted, among whom were three third-year students of English. Using Contextual Prosodic Theory and the Corpus of Contemporary Serbian, the paper sets out to explain this impression. The results suggest that syntactic patterns in Version A, being closer to the English original than in Version B, may impede comprehension, and that certain lexical items may not chunk the same states of affairs in Serbian as their English equivalents do in English. A representative poetry corpus must be created in order to verify Hlebec's view (personal communication) that syntax employed in Version A is characteristic of Serbian poetry and therefore appropriate in poetic translation.

“…The Medical Web Corpus is used to examine a large size of heterogeneous medical text which can access through Sketch Engine (Le & Miller, 2020). The corpus will not always talk about science, but it depends on the discipline chosen as the approach (Louw & Milojkovic, 2016). Brezina (2018) introduces corpus-linguistics as the methodology of language analysis that serves a shred of empirical evidence in big data to simplify language findings.…”

The aim of this study is expected to find whether the word critical frequently modifies COVID-19 or HIV, and are the type of critical strategies that frequently appear on the corpora.COVID-19 becomes the outbreak issue which is considered as a big problem from everyone in the world. It spreads rapidly from human to human. COVID-19 does not repute as something trifled, because it zaps undetected person in person. Besides, the existence of HIV still becomes the specter of today’s issues. These phenomena summon everyone to conduct the research in a medical perspective or even associate the result in a linguistic perspective. To reach further expanding, mixed method or commonly is used to call as quantitative and qualitative collaboration method. The result showed the T-score of COVID-19 > P value (4.548827 > 1.658). Hence, the proof meant word critical was most significantly modified COVID-19 rather than HIV. Besides, other result represent indirect criticism as the most frequent presence of critical strategies, by the keywords ‘coronavirus may’ displayed 137 (0.49 per million) tokens, ‘ coronavirus is quite’ displayed 3 (0.01 per million) tokens, and ‘coronavirus probably’ displayed 8 (0.03 per million) tokens. Keywords: Corpus-Based Analysis, Critical Strategies, COVID-19
