FUNCTIONAL LINGUISTICS
  1. a functionalist approach
    1. the investigation of structure with the investigation of function
    2. applied linguistics
      1. The term applied linguistics is most often encountered in connection with foreign language teaching.
        1. is an interdisciplinary field of study that identifies, investigates, and offers solutions to language-related real-life problems.
          1. 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.
            1. applied linguistics mediates between theory and practice
              1. applied linguistics draws upon descriptions of language from traditions such as cognitive linguistics, corpus linguistics, generative linguistics and systemic functional linguistics, among others.
              2. corpora linguistics.
                1. 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.
                  1. major directions of corpora studies
                    1. * the effect of corpus studies upon theories of language and how languages should be described.
                      1. * the critical approach to the methods used in investigating corpora, and a comparison between them.
                      2. The ways of processing data from a corpus
                        1. Frequency
                          1. Phraseology
                            1. Collocation
                            2. The applications of corpora
                              1. for language teaching;
                                1. individual exploring allowing to observe nuances of usage and to make comparisons between languages;
                                  1. translators use comparable corpora to compare the use of apparent translation equivalents in two languages;
                                    1. general corpora can be used to establish norms of frequency and usage against which individual texts can be measured (stylistics, clinical and forensic linguistics);
                                      1. for investigation cultural attitudes expressed through language.
                                      2. Types of corpora
                                        1. Specialised corpus
                                          1. General corpus
                                            1. Comparable corpora
                                              1. Parallel corpora
                                                1. Learner corpus
                                                  1. Pedagogic corpus
                                                    1. Historical or diachronic corpus
                                                      1. Monitor corpus
                                                      2. Translation and Corpora
                                                        1. Research into corpora and translation tends to focus on two areas: practical and theoretical.
                                                          1. In practical terms
                                                            1. What software can be developed that will enable a translator to exploit corpora as an aid in the day-to-day business of translation?
                                                            2. In theoretical terms
                                                              1. What does a corpus consisting of translated texts indicate about the process of translation itself?
                                                        2. Term banks
                                                          1. Terminological data bank, or term bank broadly applies to any system, which stores specialised vocabulary in electronic form.
