For my
corpus analysis I used a snowboard blog website, more specifically the top 10
resorts around the world. I chose to do this article because no matter where
you go in the world the terminology is going to be the same for the sport of
snowboarding. To do this analysis I used a website called “voyant” to analyze
the article I choose. The four most common words are “ski, top, resort, and mountain
in that order.
I think if
you look at the word cirrus it is interesting to see the different countries
the article includes from all over the world. I never used or hear of “voyant”
before and after using it to do this I think it is a useful tool if you were to
write a long paper to see if you are over-using a word too much.
When
thinking of the topic snowboarding the first thing, I think of is the resort,
mountains, powder, and ski lift which are all the main parts of snowboarding.
Hopefully someday I will be able to visit some of the different countries listed
in this article and see how similar or different the resorts are from the
United States.
For my corpus analysis I changed the bubble color to match my snowboard bindings, and I tried to change the bubbles to snowflakes but I couldn't get it to be transparent so I just left the bubbles. I changed my original layout and added subtopics to the other main topics and made it more uniform. The subtopics were my own personal opinion so there can be various different opinions. Majority of the photos are my own personal photos that I have taken. Hopefully I have given the viewers more information about the different resorts that are around our own area here in Johnstown, PA but also on both the East and West coast.
Your Corpus Analysis was really good and honestly truly helpful because as someone who does not know how to snowboard, it helps me figure out what all I need to do to find the perfect board! And it is okay if the snowflakes did not work! It looks great as it is and it flows really well! Also, adding your own pictures is AWESOME!! They are super good! Keep up the good work!

Hey, Lexi.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed your corpus analysis; your overall design was visually appealing and I really enjoyed seeing your revisions as someone who sits beside you in class haha. From what I could tell, it appeared as though your revisions were working well in your favor to improve an already great piece of work. The information derived from your corpus analysis was also very interesting to me; as someone who knows next to nothing about snowboarding and the various resorts that cater to winter activities, it was cool to get some concise information about it.
I’m excited to see what else you come up with this semester.
