are inherent in human language, can be recognized in the analysis. For example, the

word "red" could be used in a corpus to signify the color red, or as a political categorization

(e.g. socialism or communism). In a qualitative analysis both senses of red in the phrase
"the red flag" could be recognized.

In quantitative research we classify features, count them, and even construct more
complex statistical models in an attempt to explain what is observed. Findings can be

generalized to a larger population, and direct comparisons can be made between two

corpora, so long as valid sampling and significance techniques have been used. Thus,
quantitative analysis allows us to discover which phenomena are likely to be genuine

reflections of the behavior of a language or variety, and which are merely chance
occurrences. The more basic task of just looking at a single language variety allows one

to get a precise picture of the frequency and rarity of particular phenomena, and thus their
relative normality or abnormality.
