Abstract

The discipline of Corpus Linguistics, in essence, entails the compilation of very large archives of running texts for subsequent linguistic analysis. The final ends of Corpus Linguistics lie in the scope of Artificial Intelligence, that is, teaching machines to comprehend and produce natural language. A vital correlated aim is to improve translation techniques, both human and machine. Intermediate ends include furthering our knowledge of how language is structured and how humans use it to communicate meaning, to express evaluations and to influence the behaviour of their interlocutors (i.e. persuasion).
