Research Area
I do
research in corpus lexicography. Central to my research, is the development of
optimal models for corpora construction for the lexicography of languages with
limited written traditions (LWT languages). Such languages face challenges of
diglossia, codeswitching, codemixing
and borrowing. Part of my research includes producing and testing the model
using a Setswana corpus (see one of my proposal papers to the Computational
Linguistics of the United Kingdom.). This involves
comparing texts of different and using quantitative approaches to calculate
corpus components.
