Exploring Language and Communication with Big Data

📝 How media from the US and China describe AI development

LANG2090 introduces corpus linguistics, a method for studying language through large-scale data. Students learn how to uncover patterns in authentic language use by analysing existing corpora and building their own language datasets. By exploring how language functions across different domains—such as health, business, and digital communication—students will develop digital literacy, quantitative research skills, and a deeper understanding of the role of language in society.
