This article examines the scientific and theoretical foundations of corpus linguistics as an emerging and rapidly developing branch of modern linguistics. The study explores the conceptual framework, methodological principles, and practical applications of corpus-based research in linguistic analysis. Special attention is given to the role of corpora in studying language structure, semantics, pragmatics, and discourse analysis. The paper also highlights the importance of corpus design, annotation, and representativeness for ensuring reliable and valid research outcomes. The results of the study contribute to the understanding of how corpus linguistics serves as a bridge between theoretical linguistics and empirical language data, thereby expanding opportunitiesfor applied research in various linguisticfields.
