How do I run a corpus-linguistics study in LinguaLab?
Follow the corpus from preparation to evidence-led interpretation. Each stage shows who or what produces the result.

- 01Researcher review
Prepare the corpus
Collect the texts relevant to the research question, organize them into a clear corpus, and add essential metadata when available.
Open stage → - 02Deterministic computationResearcher review
Check corpus readiness
Check missing data, duplicates, text quality, and whether the corpus is ready for analysis.
Open stage → - 03Deterministic computation
Frequency analysis
Compute word counts directly from the submitted corpus.
Open stage → - 04Deterministic computation
Concordance / Contexts
Retrieve the actual contexts in which a selected word or phrase occurs.
Open stage → - 05Deterministic computation
N-grams
Compute recurring two- or three-word sequences from the submitted corpus.
Open stage → 06Researcher reviewReview patterns
Compare the measured patterns and record observations supported by the displayed evidence.

Example: Studying frequent expressions in university messages
- Collect a documented set of texts.
- Create the corpus.
- Inspect missing information, duplicates, and metadata.
- Extract the most frequent words.
- Open the contexts of important words.
- Inspect N-grams.
- Record a linguistic observation supported by evidence.
- Continue to interpretation and reporting.
Create a corpus when needed, or start with frequency to see broad patterns, then use contexts and N-grams according to your research question.
