Is the internet a suitable linguistic corpus? How can we use it in
corpus techniques? What are the special properties that we need to
be aware of? This book answers those questions. The Web is an
exponentially increasing source of language and corpus linguistics
data. From gigantic static information resources to user-generated
Web 2.0 content, the breadth and depth of information available is
breathtaking - and bewildering. This book explores the theory and
practice of the "web as corpus". It looks at the most common tools
and methods used and features a plethora of examples based on the
author's own teaching experience. This book also bridges the gap
between studies in computational linguistics, which emphasize
technical aspects, and studies in corpus linguistics, which focus
on the implications for language theory and use.
