Abstract:

Language and language studies have been going on for centuries; each researcher makes new inferences with his knowledge in the historical process. The development of technology and informatics has affected knowledge and everything related to knowledge. Corpus linguistics, which is used to examine, describe and analyze language and language practices, was also affected by this development; Corpus research carried out within institutional structures until the 1970s, with tools and software developed in the following years, decreased to the level of independent researchers. In the process, the data sets of the corpus also transformed into structures of million words. All these developments have clarified the basic principles and research areas of corpus and corpus linguistics. With the corpus studies, which were also started to be carried out by independent researchers, principles such as representativeness, balance, sample, size, machine readability, copyrights were determined for corpus design. In the following process, corpus was also divided into types such as general, special, marked, historical, marked, unmarked, student corpus. Language and language education corpus studies conducted in Turkey in recent years have been emphasized; The contributions of the project-based studies to the field have been highlighted. Within the scope of the corpus, the learning methods used by language learners and researchers were emphasized; the contribution of these methods to the process, their contribution to the concepts of autonomous learning or learning to learn; vocabulary teaching, idiom teaching; Sub-headings such as operating the principle of induction in language education were evaluated.
