Corpus Linguistics: the basics

What is a corpus in modern linguistics?
Ups and downs of corpora
Why using computer to study language?
Should we rely upon our intuitions or corpus data?
Is corpus linguistics an independent branch of linguistics or is it a methodology?
Is there any diference between the corpus-based and corpus-driven approaches?

i have got the 10units.
but in another post , you mentioned there are section A,B,C. are they a series of this topic or just three parts belonging to one book?

 

[xiaoz]

The 10 units here are Section A Introduction of the book. There are two more sections in the book, one expanded the topics covered in Section A and the other focuses on how to do corpus linguistics.
