UF Corpus Linguistics Lab
The UF Corpus Linguistics Lab is located in the basement of Turlington Hall at the University of Florida and is one of several labs of the Linguistics Department. In the Corpus Linguistics Lab, we investigate language data using corpora. Corpora are large-scale digital collections of language. The lab offers access to various corpora of English, German, Spanish, and other languages; corpora of written and transcribed spoken language; and specialized corpora such as corpora of academic speech and writing, learners of English as a second language, and the like. Access to these corpora is provided using various software tools such as AntConc, MonoConcPro, SketchEngine, WordSmith Tools, and R. The lab also provides access to Eprime for experiments.
In the UF Corpus Linguistics Lab, we see corpus linguistics as a method, not a theory. All faculty and students affiliated with the Corpus Linguistics Lab are united by their commitment to rigorous, empirical analyses of language data. Correspondingly, the researchers affiliated with our lab conduct research in various theoretical frameworks and on a wide range of topics, including language processing, second language acquisition, and the synchronic and diachronic description of languages such Dutch, English, Spanish, and many others. For a list of currently ongoing research projects, check out a list of some of our projects below.
