To Data Driven Research and Beyond: An Overview of Corpus Linguistics Research in Indonesia

Abstract

. Nowadays, corpus materials can be sourced from diverse linguistic data from any language in the world and play a vital role as data source in many disciplines, even in non-linguistic fields. This study wants to navigate to what extent corpus-based research in Indonesia has developed from 2011-2022 in the Google Scholar database. The findings suggest that 405 corpus-related articles in Indonesian context still revolve around corpus construction and analysis; only few studies utilize corpus for language learning, such as DDL and foreign language learning. Not to mention that documentation of Indonesian local languages has not been done collectively, and rather individually, making it challenging for other researchers to navigate local language corpora. By giving insights of the development of corpus research in Indonesia, it is hoped that many people are inspired and encouraged to carry out research and empirical applications of corpus and corpora outside the field of linguistic discussion.
