In the last decade, the availability of corpora and the
technological advancements of corpus tools have increased
dramatically. Applied linguists have greater access to data from
around the world and in a variety of languages through websites,
blogs, and social networking sites, and there is a high level of
interest among these scholars in applying corpora and corpus-based
methods to other research areas, particularly sociolinguistics.
This innovative guidebook presents a systematic, in-depth account
of using corpora in sociolinguistics. It introduces and expands the
application of corpora and corpus approaches and tools in
sociolinguistic research, surveys the growing number of studies in
corpus-based sociolinguistics, and provides instructions and
options for designing and developing corpus-based studies. Readers
will find practical information on such contemporary topics as
workplace registers, megacorpora, and using the web as a corpus.
Vignettes, case studies, discussion questions, and activities
throughout further enhance students' involvement with the material
and provide opportunities for hands-on practice of the methods
discussed. Corpus-Based Sociolinguistics is a comprehensive and
accessible guide, a must-read for any student or scholar interested
in exploring this popular and promising approach to sociolinguistic
research.
