description

This chapter offers a refl ection on the state-of-the-art and the future of linguistics. In the light of rapid development and growing popularity of quantitative, statistical research methods, the author refl ects upon their impact on contemporary linguistics (notably corpus linguistics), notably as regards methodology and linguistic data analysis. An attempt is also made in this paper to ruminate over the skills required from linguists regarding current publication standards in top-notch journals and research quality requirements. The discussion focuses on statistics and programming skills as more and more studies make ample use of various statistical metrics and computational tools. The author concludes that there are no conclusive answers to those problems as this all depends on the researcher’s needs, available collaboration opportunities and specifi city of research. It is hoped that the paper offers some food for thought regarding the present and the future of linguistics.
