Abstract


ABSTRACT: This article delves into the fascinating history of corpus
linguistics, tracing its evolution from its humble origins to its current status as a
transformative force in the study of language. We explore the key milestones in its
development, highlighting the pivotal contributions of pioneering researchers who
recognized the power of large-scale language data. From the early days of statistical
analysis to the advent of digital corpora and sophisticated computational tools, the
article charts the trajectory of this field and its impact on various linguistic disciplines.
We examine the theoretical underpinnings of corpus linguistics, its diverse applications
in areas like language acquisition, lexicography, and language variation, and the ethical
considerations surrounding the use of large language datasets. By shedding light on
the past, present, and future of this vibrant field, this article underscores the crucial role
that corpus linguistics plays in deepening our understanding of the complexities of
human language.
