(3) To "edit" the data (transcription, cleaning, formatting, encoding, etc.);
(4) To tag the data (at the several levels of linguistic analysis) with the help of proper software;
(5) To formulate research questions / hypothesis;
(6) To choose a methodology of analysis;
(7)To exploit / analyse a corpus according to a chosen methology (qualitative or quantitative);

Evaluation methods
The grade for this course is calculated on the basis of three assignments:
- A field survey (25% of the score), to be returned by the 3rd of November at the latest
- An oral presentation (15 min. Max., 25% of the mark) during which each student presents a linguistic problem approached from the perspective of corpus linguistics. These presentations will take place during the last session of the quadri (the 14th December) via Teams.
- A 12 pages essay (including figures and references, respecting an imposed style sheet) to be submitted on Moodle no later than the 8th of January. This work constitutes the written version of the December presentation and must take into account the critics and requests for corrections made then.
