Newspaper Subcorpus (Subcorpus of the Modern European Media) in the Structure of the Multilingual Corpus

Abstract

The research of the European Media comprises plenty of precious documents compiled into our educational corpora. This study represents how the corpus has been compiled. Also, we find it necessary to show the tools for this compilation which were described and analyzed. The first step of our compilation was collecting raw data in the library. The second step was selecting the format of the selection to compile by the chosen tool (the Sketch Engine). Then we made the following selection of files containing European Media content allowing it to go into the EU collection. The selected files were from the library of the popular media of Europe. It has been selected to have comprised highly cited articles from British sources: the BBC, the Sun, the Daily Mail, the Guardian, the Times, and the Economist. All the mentioned newspapers are known for their investigative journalism and critical analysis of current affairs. Our selected tools for our media subcorpus were the web-based tool for creating corpora Sketch Engine. Also, we used the offline corpus manager AntConc, the open-source software program for corpora analysis.

“…Modern linguistics has been continually and constantly enriched with the new collective monographs (see. : López-Couso et al, 2016;Whitt, 2018), manuals (see : Collins, 2019;Lange&Leuckert, 2020;Stefanowitsch, 2020) and articles (Andrushenko, 2022;Anokhina, 2023;Lavidas&Haugh, 2020) that represent fundamental theoretical and methodological ground for research and specify the possibilities of different software aimed at corpora investigation. Despite simplifying the data search on the one hand, the corpus system requires knowledge of different approaches and methodologies of investigation, on the other hand.…”
