Language looks different when you look at a lot of it at once. This unit of study introduces you to the use of computer software to look at a lot of language at once. Do we refer to men and women equally often? What are the five most frequent words in the English language? What is the difference between pure and sheer? How does television dialogue differ from real-world dialogue? And how does a computer help us to answer these and similar questions?
