VietCorpus is a comprehensive corpus-based research platform designed to advance empirical studies across a variety of languages, with particular strength in Vietnamese. It addresses longstanding gaps in computational and corpus linguistics resources by offering both pre-compiled corpora and powerful custom corpus creation tools, adapted to a wide range of linguistic research needs.

VietCorpus supports both large-scale and fine-grained linguistic investigations through the following integrated features:

• Concordance and Parallel Concordance: Analyze word usage, collocational patterns, and contextual meaning across monolingual and bilingual texts. Ideal for lexical studies and comparative linguistics.

• Text Type Analysis: Categorize and examine texts by genre, register, or domain. This feature is particularly valuable for sociolinguistic and stylistic research.

• Translation Resources: Incorporate translation memories and termbases compatible with Computer-Assisted Translation (CAT) tools, enhancing consistency and terminology management in translation studies.

• Corpus Customization Tools: Researchers can build and manage their own corpora, ensuring flexibility for specialized domains, learner corpora, or discipline-specific research.

• Advanced Analytical Tools: Quantitative and qualitative analytical modules support in-depth investigation of discourse structures, semantic networks, and syntactic patterns.

VietCorpus is particularly well-suited for a wide range of linguistic research areas. It supports lexicographic research through detailed concordance tools, enables contrastive and comparative linguistics by employing parallel corpora, and facilitates sociolinguistic and discourse analysis via text type and register classification. Additionally, the platform offers valuable resources for applied linguistics and translation studies, with features specifically designed to assist both academic and professional translation workflows. Whether you are analyzing word frequency on a large scale or examining meaning in specific contexts, VietCorpus provides the tools and resources needed to conduct diverse research approaches within the corpus linguistics paradigm.

VietCorpus is developed with the research community in mind. We welcome user feedback and collaborative inquiries to continually improve the platform and expand its research applications.
