本文主要关注两个问题。首先，在语料库中识别历时趋势的问题，更重要的是识别显著的异常值，这些问题允许在一段时间内对许多采样点的特征进行调查。其次，我们考虑如何最好地将更多面向定性的语料库数据方法与使用定量技术可以在语料库中观察到的趋势类型结合起来。这项工作使用了最近完成的esrc资助的项目作为案例研究，伊斯兰教在英国新闻界的代表性，以展示在历时频率发展中建立显着峰值的方法的潜力，以及在定性和定量技术之间可能创建的富有成效的界面。
This paper focuses upon two issues. Firstly, the question of identifying diachronic trends, and more importantly significant outliers, in corpora which permit an investigation of a feature at many sampling points over time. Secondly, we consider how best to combine more qualitatively oriented approaches to corpus data with the type of trends that can be observed in a corpus using quantitative techniques. The work uses a recently completed ESRC-funded project as a case study, the representation of Islam in the UK press, in order to demonstrate the potential of the approach taken to establishing significant peaks in diachronic frequency development, and the fruitful interface that may be created between qualitative and quantitative techniques.
