 Elena Pleshakova (Bonn): »Time-Series Approaches to the Classroom Dis
 course Research« Abstract: Discourse is a vast area of Linguistics th
 at has captivated the minds of researchers since F. de Saussure (1916/
 1959) proposed three functions that allowed approaching a speaker’s 
 utterance as a tripartite system. Comprehensive approaches to discours
 e analysis aroused by the functional framework (e.g. sociocultural and
  ethnomethodological) have been conventional for classroom discourse s
 tudies (Mercer\, 2010). Technological advances have paved new strategi
 es for discourse research (e.g.\, corpus methods (Walsh\, 2011)\, time
  series analysis (Tay\, 2019)\, vectorization (Bruchansky\, 2017)\, et
 c.). However\, these approaches opt for studying frequencies and the c
 hange over time of a single variable\, or correlations. Corpus methods
  are becoming crucial for classroom discourse studies since a collecti
 on of transcripts is a remarkable source for a corpus (Walsh\, 2011). 
 Utilizing concordances as the main corpus tool (Brookes & McEnery\, 20
 20) allows extracting for frequencies and the patterns of occurrence o
 f single words\, or communicative chunks in the teacher’s speech\, t
 racing the teacher-learner(s) interaction\, capturing lexical and prag
 matic variation. Computational methods advance the search with synonym
 s\, semantic clusters\, or grammatical patterns. Time series analysis 
 of concordance outcomes (visualized as dispersion plots) provides the 
 distributions of keywords over time. The corpus approach sustains a be
 tter understanding “of how learning and learning opportunity can be 
 improved” (Walsh\, 2011:1). The current study reports the research o
 utcomes into the teacher’s speech in the initial phase (~ 3 min long
  each) of two EFL lessons (groups of HAVO-5 and Atheneum-6) in a
