FUNCTIONAL LINGUISTICS
- a functionalist approach
- the investigation of structure with the
investigation of function
- the investigation of structure with the
investigation of function
- applied linguistics
- The term applied linguistics is most often
encountered in connection with foreign
language teaching.
- is an interdisciplinary field of study that identifies, investigates,
and offers solutions to language-related real-life problems.
- Major branches of applied linguistics include
bilingualism and multilingualism, computer-mediated
communication (CMC), conversation analysis,
contrastive linguistics, language assessment,
literacies, discourse analysis, language pedagogy,
second language acquisition, lexicography, language
planning and policies, pragmatics, forensic linguistics,
and translation.
- applied linguistics mediates
between theory and practice
- applied linguistics draws upon descriptions of
language from traditions such as cognitive
linguistics, corpus linguistics, generative
linguistics and systemic functional linguistics,
among others.
- The term applied linguistics is most often
encountered in connection with foreign
language teaching.
- corpora linguistics.
- A corpus (pl. corpora) is a large collection of written or
spoken language (a store of used language) that is used
for studying the language.
- major directions of corpora studies
- * the effect of corpus studies upon theories of
language and how languages should be described.
- * the critical approach to the methods used in
investigating corpora, and a comparison between them.

- The ways of processing data from a corpus
- Frequency
- Phraseology
- Collocation
- Frequency
- The applications of corpora
- for language teaching;
- individual exploring allowing to observe nuances of usage
and to make comparisons between languages;
- translators use comparable corpora to compare the use
of apparent translation equivalents in two languages;
- general corpora can be used to establish norms of frequency and usage
against which individual texts can be measured (stylistics, clinical and
forensic linguistics);
- for investigation cultural attitudes expressed through language.
- for language teaching;
- Types of corpora
- Specialised corpus
- General corpus
- Comparable corpora
- Parallel corpora
- Learner corpus
- Pedagogic corpus
- Historical or diachronic corpus
- Monitor corpus
- Specialised corpus
- Translation and Corpora
- Research into corpora and translation tends
to focus on two areas: practical and
theoretical.
- In practical terms
- What software can be developed that will enable a
translator to exploit corpora as an aid in the day-to-day
business of translation?

- In theoretical terms
- What does a corpus consisting of
translated texts indicate about the
process of translation itself?

- Term banks
- Terminological data bank, or term bank broadly applies
to any system, which stores specialised vocabulary in
electronic form.
