By completing this course, students will gain a basic theoretical understanding of corpus linguistics and, above all, practical skills in using corpus resources and tools for translators. Alongside large language models, corpus linguistics serves as a robust tool not only in the translation process itself, but also in the analysis and critique of translations. The knowledge and skills acquired can then be applied, for example, in the preparation of theses in the fields of philology and translation studies.
