CORPUS LINGUISTICS AND LANGUAGE RESOURCES: POTENTIAL, STATE OF PLAY AND PERSPECTIVES IN

Summary/Abstract: The advancement of technology has triggered fast development of the methods of corpus linguistics and electronic language resources which are an indispensable tool and resource for a modern description of language as they enable empirical analysis of large amounts of data and provide a broader and more objective view on the language than it has ever been possible to have before. After a brief discussion of the typology of language corpora as well as the potential and basic methodological aspects of corpus construction, this paper gives an overview of the current situation with digital language resources for the Montenegrin standard language. Furthermore, it discusses the process of compilation, content and distribution of the first morphosynctatically annotated corpus of the Montenegrin language, Opus-MontenegrinSubs 1.0, which was mounted on two platforms: clarin.si and Sketch Engine. This is the first resource of this kind for the Montenegrin language that has officially been made available to scholars. The paper also stresses the need for further affirmation of corpus-based methodology in Montenegrin linguistics and development of electronic language resources. Furthermore, the paper emphasizes the necessity of networking of researchers in Montenegro with the aim of making publicly available the resources developed within individual research projects.
