Developing Linguistic Corpora: a Guide to Good Practice. Developing Linguistic Corpora:a Guide to Good Practice Adding Linguistic Annotation Geoffrey Leech, Lancaster University© Geoffrey Leech 2004 Corpus annotation is the practice of adding interpretative linguistic information to a corpus. For example, one common type of annotation is the addition of tags, or labels, indicating the word class to which words in a text belong. This is so-called part-of-speech tagging (or POS tagging), and can be useful, for example, in distinguishing words which have the same spelling, but different meanings or pronunciation.

Developing Linguistic Corpora:a Guide to Good Practice Appendix: How to build a corpus John Sinclair, Tuscan Word Centre© John Sinclair 2004 The job of corpus building divides itself into two stages, design and implementation, but these cannot be completely separated, for reasons which are largely practical. One is the cost. Sometimes, however, it is necessary, to do things the hard way; for a corpus of informal conversations, for example, or historical documents or handwritten or manuscript material.
For languages that are used in substantial segments of the globe there will be found a very large amount of text material on the internet. The worst option is to have to type in large amounts of textual material; this is still unavoidable with transcripts of spoken interaction, but requires a consumption of resources that drags a project, limits its size and reduces its importance.
