    Description

    Corpus Linguistics has revolutionised the world of language study and is an essential component of work in Applied Linguistics. This book, now in its second edition, provides a thorough introduction to all the key research issues in Corpus Linguistics, from the point of view of Applied Linguistics. The field has progressed a great deal since the first edition, so this edition has been completely rewritten to reflect these advances, whilst still maintaining the emphasis on hands-on corpus research of the first edition. It includes chapters on qualitative and quantitative research, applications in language teaching, discourse studies, and beyond. It also includes an extensive discussion of the place of Corpus Linguistics in linguistic theory, and provides numerous detailed examples of corpus studies throughout. Providing an accessible but thorough grounding to the fascinating, fast-moving field of Corpus Linguistics, this book is essential reading for the student and the researcher alike.

    • Provides a thorough introduction to corpus research from the point of view of Applied Linguistics

    Reviews & endorsements

    ‘… part of the merit of this absorbing book is the fact that it can be read by novice and advanced readers in Corpus Linguistics and will appeal to researchers in this field of knowledge. Another source of praise of the book refers to the myriad of vivid examples that help grasp the concepts and terms exemplified in the book. In same vein, this book covers a wide range of pertinent topics running the gamut from discourse analysis to translation and contrastive analysis with an exclusive focus on corpora.’ Mehrdad Vasheghani Farahani, Corpus Pragmatics
