arXiv:2412.10139v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: As corpus linguistics continues to scale, researchers are facing a growing methodological bottleneck: while computational tools can easily count billions of words, the qualitative interpretation of these data remains a slow and labor-intensive human task. Large Language Models (LLMs) offer a promising way to automate this process, yet their integration into the field is often hindered by concerns over black-box unpredictability and a lack of replicability. This study introduces TACOMORE, a structured prompting framework designed to transform
The proliferation of LLMs creates an immediate need for standardized, replicable methods to integrate them effectively into research, especially in fields like corpus linguistics where qualitative analysis is a bottleneck.
This development addresses critical challenges of interpretability and replicability in LLM-assisted research, making advanced AI tools more trustworthy and widely applicable across various analytical domains.
The introduction of structured prompting frameworks like TACOMORE offers a pathway to standardize LLM interactions, moving away from 'black-box' unpredictability towards more systematic and verifiable AI applications.
