Etymology

The term 'corpora' is derived from the Latin word 'corpus', which means 'body'. In a linguistic context, 'corpus' refers to a body of text or speech that is collected for analysis. The concept of using collections of texts for linguistic study began to gain traction in the 20th century with the advent of computational linguistics and the need for empirical data in language research. The plural form 'corpora' became standard in the field to refer to multiple collections, as researchers sought to analyze vast amounts of language data available from different sources. Over time, the development of digital corpora further transformed the accessibility and usability of language data, leading to significant advancements in linguistic analysis and theory.
