Corpus-based discourse analysis has become a central methodological approach in modern linguistics, allowing researchers to examine naturally occurring language with empirical accuracy. Unlike traditional qualitative readings, corpus methods enable large-scale, replicable and quantifiable discourse interpretation. This article explores theoretical foundations of discourse analysis and demonstrates how corpus-driven methodology strengthens interpretive validity through representativeness, transparency, reproducibility and annotation.
