项目摘要

Corpus linguistics is a UK success story. It is an approach to the study of language, pioneered in large part by UK researchers, that uses computers to permit the analysis of millions, or even billions, of words of data to look for patterns of usage that are not necessarily observable otherwise. Corpus linguistics has revolutionised linguistics, changing the ways that language is analysed and how languages are taught. It is therefore an increasingly well established approach to the study of language among linguists. Yet the analysis of language is not the sole preserve of linguists but, rather, is a thread that runs through all of the social sciences. Since 2013, the Centre for Corpus Approaches to Social Science has brought the benefits of the corpus approach to a range of social science disciplines (including Criminology, Sociology, Accountancy and Psychology), and has enabled new approaches to answering questions in those disciplines (e.g. on understanding hate crime, views on climate change, financial accounting, and learning in primary schools). The Centre has also produced new tools and resources for the large-scale study of language, and made them available free of charge to academics and non-academics in the UK and internationally through the Centre website, Summer Schools, training events, and a dedicated Corpus MOOC. Overall, the Centre has established itself as the world leader in innovative research in Corpus Linguistics and its applications beyond linguistics. The next phase of the Centre's work will maintain and enhance that position, by continuing our core activities and undertaking new ones. In particular, we will maximise the practical impact in four of our areas of activity (Corporate Communication, Climate Change, Language Development and Language Assessment) and bring the transformative benefits of Corpus Linguistics to a social scientific understanding of communication for, about and by people who are ill. We will analyse both existing and new language datasets that are relevant to mental health (including anxiety disorder, psychosis and depression), chronic pain, obesity and medical communication. Our analyses will bring about new understandings of the experience of illness, manifestations of stigma and the communicative needs of medical professionals, and will feed into recommendations and interventions for support, training and policy. This will address three of the ESRC's strategic priorities, and make a positive difference to research and practice in healthcare, and communication about health and illness more generally.

语料库语言学是英国的一个成功案例。这是一种研究语言的方法，很大程度上是由英国研究人员首创的，它利用计算机分析数百万甚至数十亿个词的数据，以寻找在其他情况下未必能观察到的用法模式。语料库语言学使语言学发生了革命性的变化，改变了分析语言和教授语言的方式。因此，它是语言学家研究语言的一种日益成熟的方法。然而，对语言的分析并不是语言学家的专利，而是贯穿所有社会科学的一条主线。自2013年以来，社会科学语料库方法中心将语料库方法的好处带到了一系列社会科学学科(包括犯罪学、社会学、会计学和心理学)，并采用了新的方法来回答这些学科的问题(例如，关于了解仇恨犯罪、对气候变化的看法、财务会计和小学学习)。中心还为大规模语言研究制作了新的工具和资源，并通过中心网站、暑期学校、培训活动和专门的语料库MOOC免费向英国和国际的学术界和非学术界人士提供这些工具和资源。总体而言，该中心在语料库语言学及其超越语言学的应用方面的创新研究方面确立了自己的世界领先地位。中心下一阶段的工作将通过继续我们的核心活动和开展新的活动来保持和加强这一地位。特别是，我们将在我们的四个活动领域(企业传播、气候变化、语言发展和语言评估)最大限度地发挥实际影响，并将语料库语言学的变革性好处带到对为病人、关于病人和由病人进行的沟通的社会科学理解中。我们将分析与心理健康(包括焦虑症、精神病和抑郁症)、慢性疼痛、肥胖和医疗沟通相关的现有和新的语言数据集。我们的分析将带来对疾病经历、污名表现和医疗专业人员沟通需求的新理解，并将为支持、培训和政策提供建议和干预措施。这将解决ESRC的三个战略优先事项，并对医疗保健方面的研究和实践以及更广泛的关于健康和疾病的交流产生积极的影响。
