Corpus linguistics is the study of language data on a large scale -
the computer-aided analysis of very extensive collections of
transcribed utterances or written texts. This textbook outlines the
basic methods of corpus linguistics, explains how the discipline of
corpus linguistics developed and surveys the major approaches to
the use of corpus data. It uses a broad range of examples to show
how corpus data has led to methodological and theoretical
innovation in linguistics in general. Clear and detailed
explanations lay out the key issues of method and theory in
contemporary corpus linguistics. A structured and coherent
narrative links the historical development of the field to current
topics in 'mainstream' linguistics. Practical tasks and questions
for discussion at the end of each chapter encourage students to
test their understanding of what they have read and an extensive
glossary provides easy access to definitions of technical terms
used in the text.
