Utilization of corpus for sustainability of linguistic research

Abstract

This research aimed to introduce a corpus to Indonesian to improve the sustainability of research in the field of language. In English and Japanese study, language research had been highly developed because the existence of a linguistic corpus supports it. For example, in Japanese, the corpus was managed by an organization called NINJAL (National Institute for Japanese Language and Linguistics), where the corpus could be accessed free or paid. This research method was a literature review. It is found that for the sustainability of research in Indonesia, the existence of a corpus is very much needed. It is better if the corpus in Indonesia is created and managed by an organization and can be accessed free or paid for researchers who want to research Indonesian in more detail.
