AB Most of the studies dealing with the emerging oral genre of TED Talks have focusedon the use of them as a way of teaching and learning, however, fewer studies haveemphasized its structure or function. This essay deals with the study of different POS of thefunctional word as in different TED Talks being classified by their function and topic. Morespecifically, it is the study of the frequency and use of as as a preposition and conjunction ontwo sub-corpora with the help of the software Sketch Engine. It aims to show the process andselection criteria to compile a corpus, to study the usage of the preposition and conjunctionas, and to manually analyze the errors that the software could be made. The results show thatthe preposition as is used to a higher extent in both sub-corpora, and consequently, in thewhole specialized corpus.Keywords: As, TED Talk, corpus,
