- Abstract
Corpus Linguistics is a type of linguistic analysis that uses technology-based tools to analyze real linguistic data. Two examples of these tools are AntConc (quantitative analyses), which orders the words in a text according to frequency of appearance, and ATLAS.ti (qualitative analyses), which allows for semantic networks to be created among the words, in order to illustrate the foci of interest in a text. Some other tests that can be applied are: analysis of lexical variation, percentage of specific lexicon between to texts, percentage of shared words, and log likelihood significance test. The purpose of this paper is to exemplify the application of these tools to identify differences in lexicon between the National News and Sports sections from the newspapers La Nación, and Diario Extra. The analysis allows for the following conclusions to be drawn: the corpora differ in number of words; the analysis of the semantic networks shows the differences in the foci of interest between the two newspapers; the communality/specificity tests indicates a high percentage of specificity in the lexicon; the analysis of lexical variation does not allow for differences to be established; and, the log likelihood significance test shows a significant difference in the frequency of appearance of certain lexical items.
