Example: Studying frequent expressions in university messages

  1. Collect a documented set of texts.
  2. Create the corpus.
  3. Inspect missing information, duplicates, and metadata.
  4. Extract the most frequent words.
  5. Open the contexts of important words.
  6. Inspect N-grams.
  7. Record a linguistic observation supported by evidence.
  8. Continue to interpretation and reporting.
