Corpora are ubiquitous in linguistic research, yet to date, there
has been no consensus on how to conceptualize corpus
representativeness and collect corpus samples. This pioneering book
bridges this gap by introducing a conceptual and methodological
framework for corpus design and representativeness. Written by
experts in the field, it shows how corpora can be designed and
built in a way that is both optimally suited to specific research
agendas, and adequately representative of the types of language use
in question. It considers questions such as 'what types of texts
should be included in the corpus?', and 'how many texts are
required?' - highlighting that the degree of representativeness
rests on the dual pillars of domain considerations and distribution
considerations. The authors introduce, explain, and illustrate all
aspects of this corpus representativeness framework in a
step-by-step fashion, using examples and activities to help readers
develop practical skills in corpus design and evaluation.
