framework. Many well-known scholars made their contribution to modern corpus linguistic,
including: Biber, McCarthy, Leech, Hungston etc. These scholars made significant contribution
to development of present and past corpus linguistics. One of the influential scholars of
modern
corpus linguistics is John Sinclair, he mentioned that a word doesn’t carry meaning when stands
alone but it can be meaningful within the combination with other words or the meaning mostly
made through several words in sequence (Sinclair, 1991). Corpus linguistics answers to the two
fundamental research questions:
What particular patterns are associated with grammatical and lexical features?
How do these patterns differ within varieties and registers?
Corpus linguistics is not able to show correctness or
incorrectness in language; it can
only show what is present in the corpus. Most directors of corpora believe that corpus is faulty
when it does not present all manners to express a certain idea, instead of this they should believe
that the manner is not mostly common in register represented by the corpus (Kennedy, 1998).
The one of the great advantages of corpus linguistics is that researchers do not have to be
dependent on their own or other native speaker’s institution or examples
which are made up by
them rather they can test their hypotheses through on authentic large amount of naturally
occurring language information produced by different writers or speakers.
The linguistics uses 6 types of data for linguistic analysis:
1.
Data created by intuition;
2.
The researchers own intuition;
3.
Other people’s intuition;
4.
Naturally existing text;
5.
Randomly collected texts;
6.
Systematic collection of text (Fillmore, 1992).
