ABSTRACT

This paper aims to introduce the research trends in the use of web corpus for linguistic research and discuss related some issues from the perspective of corpus linguistics. Web corpus still seems to be still considered as a dirty and difficult type of data by most linguists. Nevertheless, there is no doubt that the web as corpus is a very useful resource in the sense that it provides a breadth of free data and is updated on daily basis so as to track recent language changes and supplement grammars and dictionaries. This study investigates the previous research trends and look into critical issues related web corpus research. Chapter 2 discusses trends in related to web corpus research and reviews in particular the two notions of ‘web as corpus’ and ‘web for corpus’. Chapter 3 deals with the issues on web corpus in terms of (3.1) representativeness, (3.2) immediacy and (3.3) genre and register. Finally, chapter 4 examines the implications of the web corpus as a dynamic corpus from the point of view of corpus linguistics.
