Design of Text Resources and Tools

This chapter guides the reader through the key stages of creating language resources. After explaining the difference between linguistic corpora and other text collections, the authors briefly introduce the typology of corpora created by corpus linguists and the concept of corpus annotation. Basic terminology from natural language processing (NLP) and corpus linguistics is introduced, alongside an explanation of the main components of an NLP pipeline and tools, including pre-processing, part-of-speech tagging, lemmatization, and entity extraction.
