Welcome back to CorpusCast, the podcast from Aston University delving into corpus linguistics and its impact on society. I'm your host, Dr Robbie Love, and in today's episode, we're diving deep into a crucial aspect of corpus linguistics: representativeness. To truly make sense of corpus research, we must ensure that our corpora accurately represent the language we're studying. But how do we distinguish a well-designed corpus from a poorly designed one? What considerations should researchers keep in mind when creating or utilising existing corpora? Joining me today is our esteemed guest, Dr Bethany Gray, a professor of applied linguistics and technology at Iowa State University. With her extensive background in corpus linguistics, text analysis and academic writing development, Bethany is the perfect guide to explore this intricate topic. Bethany's expertise shines through in her book, "Designing and Evaluating Language Corpora," co-authored with Jesse Egbert and Doug Biber, published in 2022. We'll delve into the nuances of representativeness and its impact on corpus design, drawing from Bethany's wealth of experience and insights. So, let's unravel the complexities of representativeness in corpus linguistics with our guest today, Bethany Gray.
