CORPUS FREQUENCY

Corpora are the main knowledge base in corpus linguistics. The analysis and processing of
various types of corpora are also the subject of much work in computational
linguistics,speech recognition and machine translation, where they are often used to
create hidden Markov models for part of speech tagging and other purposes. Corpora
and frequency listsderived from them are useful for language teaching. Corpora can be
considered as a type of foreign language writing aid as the contextualised grammatical
knowledge acquired by non-native language users through exposure to authentic texts in
corpora allows learners to grasp the manner of sentence formation in the target language,
enabling effective writing.

 ADVERBS/ADJECTIVES

Adjectives. - Adjectives describe nouns (things). Slow is an adjective since it describes

the noun (my dog).

Adverbs. - Adverbs describe verbs (actions). Slowly is an adverb since it describes the way
my dog eats.

Some adverbs are used to modify an adjective. Adverbs that do this are: very, extremely,
really, totally, absolutely, quite, fairly, well. These are normally placed before the adjective.

Adverbs and Adjectives with the same form.- There are a number of adjectives / adverbs
that take the same form. It therefore depends on the sentence context as to whether it is an
adjective or an adverb.

The adjectives / adverbs that take the same form include:

fast, hard, early, late, high, low, right, wrong, straight and long.

 Adam has a fast car. (Adjective)

 Adam speaks fast. (Adverb)
