CorpusCast with Dr Robbie Love Aston Originals

Welcome to another episode of CorpusCast, the podcast from Aston University dedicated to exploring corpus linguistics and its impact on society.

Hosted by Dr Robbie Love, this episode takes a look at the sentimental world of nostalgia and its significant role in public discourse.

In this episode, Robbie is joined by two guests, Professor Charlotte Taylor from the University of Sussex and Senior Assistant Professor Dr Anna Marchi from the University of Bologna. Both experts have extensive experience in discourse analysis and corpus linguistics, particularly in the areas of political and media discourse.

Together, they will guide listeners on a nostalgic journey, exploring how the language of the past is used persuasively in various contexts. From media narratives to political rhetoric, the discussion will uncover how nostalgia can be a powerful tool in shaping public opinion and storytelling.

Join us as we uncover the warmth and complexity of nostalgic language and its broader implications for society. Whether you're a seasoned linguist or just curious about the power of words, this episode promises to provide valuable insights into the intersection of language, emotion and society.

In this episode, Robbie chats to Professor Dan McIntyre, from Uppsala University, about the world of corpus stylistics.

Professor McIntyre shares his journey from an early fascination with language to becoming a leading figure in stylistics, corpus linguistics and the history of the English language. He discusses the evolution of corpus stylistics, a method combining corpus linguistic techniques with stylistic analysis to study both literary and non-literary texts.

The conversation covers essential concepts like keyness and foregrounding, the challenges of studying contemporary literary texts due to copyright issues, and the importance of understanding corpus as a representative sample of language data. They also explore the broader context of higher education and the threats facing humanities disciplines, emphasising the need for public engagement and outreach.

Professor McIntyre offers valuable advice for students embarking on corpus linguistics research and discusses the impact of Babel, the languages and linguistics magazine he co-founded.

Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion that highlights the intersection of linguistics, literature, and the digital age.

Welcome back to CorpusCast, the podcast from Aston University delving into corpus linguistics and its impact on society. I'm your host, Dr Robbie Love, and in today's episode, we're diving deep into a crucial aspect of corpus linguistics: representativeness. To truly make sense of corpus research, we must ensure that our corpora accurately represent the language we're studying. But how do we distinguish a well-designed corpus from a poorly designed one? What considerations should researchers keep in mind when creating or utilising existing corpora?

Joining me today is our esteemed guest, Dr Bethany Gray, a professor of applied linguistics and technology at Iowa State University. With her extensive background in corpus linguistics, text analysis and academic writing development, Bethany is the perfect guide to explore this intricate topic.

Bethany's expertise shines through in her book, "Designing and Evaluating Language Corpora," co-authored with Jesse Egbert and Doug Biber, published in 2022. We'll delve into the nuances of representativeness and its impact on corpus design, drawing from Bethany's wealth of experience and insights.

So, let's unravel the complexities of representativeness in corpus linguistics with our guest today, Bethany Gray.

🎙️ Welcome to CorpusCast! 🎙️



In this episode, join Dr Robbie Love as he delves into the fascinating world of corpus linguistics and its impact on society. Explore how linguistic patterns in large language samples are applied across diverse contexts, including education, health and technology.



🔍 Today’s Topic: Corpus-Assisted Discourse Studies (CADs)



CADs combines corpus linguistics and discourse analysis, often emphasising critical discourse analysis. Our guest has harnessed these approaches to address social justice, discrimination, political discourse and more.



Professor Gerlinde Mautner (WU (Vienna University of Economics and Business)) has been researching CADs since 1995. Her work bridges language and society, with a specific focus on language in business.



We’ll dive into methodological questions, interdisciplinary cooperation and Gerlinde's latest book, Corpus Assisted Discourse Studies, co-authored with Matthew Gillings and our very first guest on CorpusCast, Paul Baker.



Discover the synergy between corpus linguistics and discourse analysis and explore the opportunities and challenges of interdisciplinary research.



🎧 Tune in to this episode of CorpusCast and gain fresh insights into the power of language!



🔗 Listen to more episodes wherever you get your podcasts. New episodes drop every first Wednesday of the month.



Remember, words matter, and we’re here to uncover their impact! 📚🗣️

In this episode of CorpusCast, Dr Robbie Love, a lecturer in corpus linguistics at Aston University, interviews Dr Peter Crosthwaite, an associate professor in the School of Languages and Cultures at the University of Queensland.



They discuss the topic of data-driven learning (DDL), which is the use of corpus linguistics for teaching language.



Dr Crosthwaite shares his insights and experiences on how DDL can enhance language learning outcomes, as well as the challenges and opportunities of implementing DDL in different contexts.



He also talks about his recent research on the relationship between corpus linguistics and artificial intelligence, and how they can complement each other. Tune in to learn more about the fascinating field of corpus linguistics and its applications for language education.
