“…The need for large-scale machine-readable corpus becomes obvious for research on natural language processing. A real breakthrough in compilation and analysis of corpora began with the access to machine readable texts which could be stored, transported, and analyzed electronically [2].…”

“…In linguistics, the term corpus generally refers to a collection of texts upon which some general linguistic analysis can be conducted. More specifically according to modern linguistics corpus should represent several properties such as machine-readable form, sampling and representativeness, finite size, and means a standard reference for the language variety [2]. Corpus is used as an example bank by many linguists as empirical support for their hypothesis.…”

“…A corpus can also be bilingual or multilingual. Canadian Hansard is the first example of parallel or bilingual corpus [2]. A corpus is specialized when it is designed based on specific research goals.…”

“…Cambridge and Nottingham Corpus of Discourse in English (CANCODE) [6] and Michigan Corpus of Academic Spoken English (MICASE) [7] are examples of the specialized corpus. Some corpus comprised of important collections and extraordinary works of a language rather than gathering ordinary language usage phenomena such as the works of Shakespeare is another example of special corpus [2].…”

Compilation, Analysis and Application of a Comprehensive Bangla Corpus KUMono

Research in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and computational linguistics highly depends on a good quality representative corpus of any specific language. Bangla is one of the most spoken languages in the world but Bangla NLP research is in its early stage of development due to the lack of quality public corpus. This article describes the detailed compilation methodology of a comprehensive monolingual Bangla corpus, KUMono. The newly developed corpus consists of more than 350 million word tokens and more than one million unique tokens from 18 major text categories of online Bangla websites. We have conducted several word-level and character-level linguistic phenomenon analyses based on empirical studies of the developed corpus. The corpus follows Zipf's curve and hapax legomena rule. The quality of the corpus is also assessed by analyzing and comparing the inherent sparseness of the corpus with existing Bangla corpora, by analyzing the distribution of function words of the corpus and vocabulary growth rate. We have developed a Bangla article categorization application based on the KUMono corpus and received compelling results by comparing to the state-of-the-art models.

“…The widespread availability of an ever larger number of corpora has naturally resulted in a general strengthening of corpus-linguistic research and a growing number of introductions and handbooks (e.g. Lüdeling & Kytö 2009, O'Keeffe & McCarthy 2010, McEnery & Hardie 2012, Biber & Reppen 2015and Lindquist & Levin 2018, to name but a few). These often contain sections or chapters that address quantitative concepts, methods and computational tools, thus, for example Chapters 2 and 3 in Biber and Reppen (2015), or the chapters in Part II of the same volume, which also sometimes discuss alternative methodological approaches to a single corpus-linguistic problem.…”

Corpus linguistics continues to be a vibrant methodology applied across highly diverse fields of research in the language sciences. With the current steep rise in corpus sizes, computational power, statistical literacy and multi-purpose software tools, and inspired by neighbouring disciplines, approaches have diversified to an extent that calls for an intensification of the accompanying critical debate. Bringing together a team of leading experts, this book follows a unique design, comparing advanced methods and approaches current in corpus linguistics, to stimulate reflective evaluation and discussion. Each chapter explores the strengths and weaknesses of different datasets and techniques, presenting a case study and allowing readers to gauge methodological options in practice. Contributions also provide suggestions for further reading, and data and analysis scripts are included in an online appendix. This is an important and timely volume, and will be essential reading for any linguist interested in corpus-linguistic approaches to variation and change.
