This book is a collection of papers using samples of real language
data (corpora) to explore variation in the use of English. This
collection celebrates the achievements of Toshio Saito, a pioneer
in corpus linguistics within Japan and founder of the Japan
Association for English Corpus Studies (JAECS). The main aims
throughout the collection are to present practical solutions for
methodological and interpretational problems common in such
research, and to make the research methods and issues as accessible
as possible, to educate and inspire future researchers. Together,
the papers represent many different dimensions of variation,
including: differences in (frequency of) use under different
linguistic conditions; differences between styles or registers of
use; change over time; differences between regional varieties;
differences between social groups; and differences in use by one
individual on different occasions. The papers are grouped into four
sections: studies considering methodological problems in the use of
real language samples; studies describing features of language
usage in different linguistic environments in modern English;
studies following change over time; and case studies illustrating
variation in usage for different purposes, or by different groups
or individuals, in society.
