Throughout course issues on the usefulness of corpora in linguistic research will be discussed and basic definitions and criteria as to how to compile and use natural language corpora. Furthermore, an important part of the course will be devoted to presenting the notions of "wordlists", "concordances" in various usage contexts. Moreover, existing corpora of Greek language will be presented and the current trends of corpus (stand-off) annotation with XML, a markup language that is currently used in many language corpora projects.
