Words of the World
|
From Nazi to Chocolate, words play a vital role in our lives. And each word has its own story.
But where do they come from? What do they mean? How do they change?
Some of these questions are answered by "Words of the World" - a series of short videos presented by experts from the University of Nottingham's School of Modern Languages and Cultures.
Another UoN video project by filmmaker and former BBC video-journalist Brady Haran.

Corpus linguistics studies examples of naturally occurring language (e.g. newspaper articles, transcriptions of spoken language, literary texts) with the help of quantitative methods such as concordance analyses or key word comparisons. Includes examples and hands-on exercises.
