language corpus management and query system

It is a first choice solution for publishers, universities, translators, translation agencies and national language institutes throughout the world. Using multi-billion word samples of authentic text, called corpora (sing. corpus), Sketch Engine’s unique algorithms identify instantly what is frequent and typical in language and what is rare, unusual or emerging usage and will present the results in an easy to understand format.

Unlike text search tools, Sketch Engine can determine parts of speech (noun, adjective, verb…) and grammatical categories (singular/plural, present/past, passive…) making it possible to quickly look up specific word combinations or even grammatical structures.

General: 1. Read the question. The easiest mistake to fix: if the question says circle the error and fix it, make sure you do both, or if the question asks for three examples, make sure you give three and not two or four. If the question asks for a transcription, don’t give a translation, and so on. Verner's Law, Part 1 of 3.

We often reference the various fields of linguistics, so we thought we should finally take some time to briefly explain what each of them encompasses.

Intro to Linguistics: Phonetics

In the coming weeks, we'll be discussing the main fields our new Intro to Linguistics series. We'll be starting the series with phonetics. Phonetics is the branch of linguistics that studies the physical properties of speech sounds. In general, phoneticians don't focus on the meaning of the sounds, as that is considered a part of phonology, which we'll discuss next time. Instead, phonetics is all about the sounds you make, how you make them, and how they are received by a listener.

There are three basic areas of study in the field of phonetics. Articulatory phonetics This is the study of how speech is produced. Acoustic phonetics Just as you might guess, this is the study of the transmission of speech from speaker to listener. Auditory phonetics The field of phonetics has many practical applications in everyday life. RSA Animate - Language as a Window into Human Nature.
