Best practices for working with large corpora include: Combining quantitative and qualitative methods: Using computational tools to detect patterns, followed by qualitative analysis to interpret the meaning of those patterns. Careful corpus design: Ensuring the corpus is representative of the discourse by including texts from diverse sources, genres, and contexts. Using specialized tools: Utilizing software like AntConc, Sketch Engine, or NVivo to efficiently analyze large datasets while preserving a focus on specific patterns or features.
