  • This chapter presents and discusses the use of corpus-based methods for prosody analysis. Corpus-based methods make use of large corpora and computational tools to extract conclusions from the analysis of copious amounts of data and are being used already in many scientific disciplines. However, they are not yet frequently used in phonetic and phonological studies. Existing computational tools for the automatic processing of prosodic corpora are reviewed, and some examples of studies in which this methodology has been applied to the description of prosody are presented.
