| Abstract | ||
| The field of Corpus Linguistics has undergone a remarkable evolution since its inception in the mid-20th century. The foundations of Corpus Linguistics can be traced back to the 1950s and 1960s when researchers started to compile and analyze large collections of texts to study language patterns. Initially emerging as an idea to study language through the analysis of larger collections of texts, Corpus Linguistics took a significant leap forward with the advent of computational tools in the 1960s and 1970s. The development of computers enabled linguists to compile, store, and analyze vast corpora of texts efficiently, giving rise to a data-reliant approach to studying language. These corpora became valuable resources for linguistic inquiry, allowing scholars to explore syntax, semantics, and pragmatics, while influencing the development of new linguistic theories. One of the most influential methodologies within Corpus Linguistics is the Multi-Dimensional Analysis (MDA) approach, introduced by Douglas Biber in 1988. MDA represents a shift from traditional linguistic models by focusing on actual language use across different genres and contexts. This approach employs statistical methods to identify patterns of linguistic variation, providing insights into how language varies across genres and influencing research in areas such as sociolinguistics, stylistics, and discourse analysis. Studies using MDA have explored linguistic variation in numerous genres, from academic writing to web-based texts, and have even generated new dimensions of analysis. | ||
