“…In order to establish the core themes in our corpus and to compare our work to existing scholarship, we drew on the well-established methods of corpus-based discourse analysis (Baker et al, 2008;Baker and McEnery, 2015b;Upton and Cohen, 2009). We began by generating a list of keywords -words which were statistically salient in our corpus compared to the reference corpus of tweets used by Baker and McEnery.…”

“…2 The data was analyzed using the method of corpus-assisted discourse studies. While critical discourse analysis focuses on ideologies, social and cultural practices, power and values reflected in language use (Wodak 1989;van Dijk 1993;Fairclough 2001), corpus-assisted discourse studies (or CADS) studies language as a discourse through corpus data (McEnery & Baker 2015;Partington et al 2013;Ancarno 2020). According to Conrad (2002: 78), "corpus linguistics is thus particularly helpful in providing "big picture" perspectives on discourse -determining patterns of language behavior across many texts, identi fying typical and unusual choices by users, and describing the interactions among multiple variables".…”

This paper focuses on the use of compound words ending with tädi ‘aunt’ and onu ‘uncle’ in the 2021 Estonian Web Corpus. The aim is to determine the frequencies and semantic categories of such compounds as well as to analyze how occupational titles that incorporate these gender-specific words are used. Therefore, this paper primarily seeks to understand why terms related to kinship, like tädi and onu, are integrated into compound words denoting occupations. The data is subjected to corpus-assisted discourse analysis, revealing that compound words ending with tädi and onu express various semantic categories, and these occupational titles serve several purposes in Estonian public discourse. Additionally, the study shows that such compounds carry gender stereotypes and that titles ending with tädi are more often associated with lower prestige. Kokkuvõte. Elisabeth Kaukonen: Koristajatädid ja politseionud tegustemas. Tuvastades soodünaamikat eesti keele liitsõnadest. Artikkel keskendub tädi- ja onu-lõpuliste liitsõnade kasutusele 2021. aasta eesti keele veebikorpuses, eesmärgiga välja selgitada seesuguste sõnade esinemissagedused ja tähendusrühmad. Lähemalt on analüüsitud tädi- ja onu-lõpulisi ametisõnu. Seega püüab artikkel peamiselt vastust leida küsimustele, miks kasutatakse sugulusele osutavaid termineid, nagu tädi ja onu, ametit väljendavates liitsõnades ning millised on seesuguste sõnade kasutusmustrid. Materjali analüüsiti korpuspõhise diskursuseanalüüsi meetodiga. Tulemused näitavad, et tädi- ja onu-lõpulised liitsõnad väljendavad mitmesuguseid tähendusvaldkondi ning et sellistel ametisõnadel on eesti keele avalikus diskursuses palju kasutusvõimalusi – näiteks kasutatakse tädi- ja onu-liitsõnu nii positiivses kui ka negatiivses tähenduses. Sellele lisaks on tulemustest ilmne, et seesugused liitsõnad ja nende kasutus peegeldavad soostereotüüpe ning et tädi-lõpulised liitsõnad on sageli seotud madalama prestiižiga kui onu-lõpulised.
