| Description | The article presents methodological considerations on creating a small representative corpus, which was used to conduct research on courtroom data. The corpus was designed to serve the needs of a single case study. The article deals with the question of representativeness of the research data and the difficulties that arose with the process of tagging and categorizing tags. It also considers the flexibility and user-friendliness of the corpus that was based on a simple but efficient system of tagging. |
