CorpusCast with Dr Robbie Love Aston Originals

Welcome back to CorpusCast, the podcast from Aston University delving into corpus linguistics and its impact on society. I'm your host, Dr Robbie Love, and in today's episode, we're diving deep into a crucial aspect of corpus linguistics: representativeness. To truly make sense of corpus research, we must ensure that our corpora accurately represent the language we're studying. But how do we distinguish a well-designed corpus from a poorly designed one? What considerations should researchers keep in mind when creating or utilising existing corpora?

Joining me today is our esteemed guest, Dr Bethany Gray, a professor of applied linguistics and technology at Iowa State University. With her extensive background in corpus linguistics, text analysis and academic writing development, Bethany is the perfect guide to explore this intricate topic.

Bethany's expertise shines through in her book, "Designing and Evaluating Language Corpora," co-authored with Jesse Egbert and Doug Biber, published in 2022. We'll delve into the nuances of representativeness and its impact on corpus design, drawing from Bethany's wealth of experience and insights.

So, let's unravel the complexities of representativeness in corpus linguistics with our guest today, Bethany Gray.

🎙️ Welcome to CorpusCast! 🎙️



In this episode, join Dr Robbie Love as he delves into the fascinating world of corpus linguistics and its impact on society. Explore how linguistic patterns in large language samples are applied across diverse contexts, including education, health and technology.



🔍 Today’s Topic: Corpus-Assisted Discourse Studies (CADs)



CADs combines corpus linguistics and discourse analysis, often emphasising critical discourse analysis. Our guest has harnessed these approaches to address social justice, discrimination, political discourse and more.



Professor Gerlinde Mautner (WU (Vienna University of Economics and Business)) has been researching CADs since 1995. Her work bridges language and society, with a specific focus on language in business.



We’ll dive into methodological questions, interdisciplinary cooperation and Gerlinde's latest book, Corpus Assisted Discourse Studies, co-authored with Matthew Gillings and our very first guest on CorpusCast, Paul Baker.



Discover the synergy between corpus linguistics and discourse analysis and explore the opportunities and challenges of interdisciplinary research.



🎧 Tune in to this episode of CorpusCast and gain fresh insights into the power of language!
