STAGES OF CREATING A CORPUS-BASED DICTIONARY USING A CONCORDANCER

Abstract

This article explores the sequential stages involved in constructing a corpus-based dictionary using a concordancer tool. It examines the linguistic significance of corpus data, the technical steps of compiling, cleaning, and annotating a corpus, and the methodology for extracting and organizing lexical entries. Emphasis is placed on the role of concordancers in identifying authentic word usage patterns, frequency statistics, and collocational information. The study also discusses the implications of corpus lexicography for linguistic research and language education. The proposed approach contributes to the development of more objective and representative dictionaries that reflect real language use. The findings demonstrate the relevance of corpus linguistics in modern lexicography and propose a standardized workflow for efficient dictionary compilation.
