IN LINGUISTICS: THE SCIENTIFIC AND THEORETICAL FOUNDATIONS OF CORPUS LINGUISTICS
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article examines the scientific and theoretical foundations of corpus
linguistics as an emerging and rapidly developing branch of modern linguistics. The study
explores the conceptual framework, methodological principles, and practical applications of
corpus-based research in linguistic analysis. Special attention is given to the role of corpora in
studying language structure, semantics, pragmatics, and discourse analysis. The paper also
highlights the importance of corpus design, annotation, and representativeness for ensuring
reliable and valid research outcomes. The results of the study contribute to the understanding of
how corpus linguistics serves as a bridge between theoretical linguistics and empirical language
data, thereby expanding opportunities for applied research in various linguistic fields.
