On April 4, 2013, Thursday, we learned about concordancer. Concordancer is the
basic tool for corpus linguist. Concordancer is defines as a collection of the
occurrences of word form. From the lecture, we learn that parts of concordance
are on the affixes and the collocation of the words. Collocation is the word
that after being join together people will immediately know the meaning of the
words or what is the word referred to. In order to understand more on
concordance related with collocation, our lecturer asked the students to give
some examples of the collocation words that we know. Some example that we and
our fellow classmate give to our lecturer is red rose, red light, black coffee
and others. We also know now that not all join words is collocation.
As to make us more understand on what concordance and it is usage, our lecture
had asked us to open one software that is related to concordance. The software
is called webcorp. Webcorp is one of the examples of software for simple
concordance. From the software we learn how to use it. Besides that, we also
learn what webcorp is used as by the corpus linguist.
Not only that, we also gain something that is related with our future. By means
of something related to our future is that we know the scope for the
concordance for corpus linguist. As our lecturer had said in the class we as in
students might want to further our studies to master level can take this course
as our course after we have complete our studies and graduated. . This is
because not many people have the deep knowledge about corpus studies. Our
lecture wants to expose the undergraduate students as similar to what the
postgraduate students do. Thus, the lecture today is as an open eyes and minds
that there are many more courses other than what have been offered for the
students.
