Corpus linguistics is an empirical method for the study of language by way of a text corpus (plural corpora).

[1] Today, corpora are generally machine-readable data collections.
Corpus-assisted discourse studies (abbr.: CADS) is related historically and methodologically to the discipline of corpus linguistics.The principal endeavor of corpus-assisted discourse studies is the investigation, and comparison of features of particular discourse types, integrating into the analysis the techniques and tools developed within corpus linguistics.

For example, mental concepts such as "belief" or "idea" are also nouns but do not neatly fit the traditional definition.
