Reproduction package for "A stroll through the garden of forking paths of corpus linguistics: On the ease of (deliberately or inadvertently) manipulating corpus findings" (Le Foll 2026)
Abstract
This package allows for a partial reproduction of the analyses presented in: Le Foll, Elen. in press/2026. A stroll through the garden of forking paths of corpus linguistics: On the ease of (deliberately or inadvertently) manipulating corpus findings. (Eds.) Christoph Bürgel & Anna Fankhauser. Angewandte Sprachwissenschaft und Fremdsprachenlernen: Aktuelle Perspektiven aus Korpuslinguistik, Phraseologie, (Lerner-)Lexikographie und der fremdsprachendidaktischen Praxis. Eine Festschrift für Dirk Siepmann. Stauffenburg Festschriften 17–40. For copyright reasons, the corpus data cannot be shared and, as a result, the full pipeline cannot be run without first re-compiling the corpus. The corpus metadata can be found in the project repository. However, processed corpus data are provided that allow users to reproduce part of the analysis starting from the stopword removal in the green trail and the topic modelling section in the blue trail.
