Doing Corpus Linguistics offers a practical step-by-step
introduction to corpus linguistics, making use of widely available
corpora and of a register analysis-based theoretical framework to
provide students in Applied Linguistics and TESOL with the
understanding and skills necessary to meaningfully analyze corpora
and carry out successful corpus-based research. Divided into three
parts - Introduction to Doing Corpus Linguistics and Register
Analysis; Searches in Available Corpora; and Building Your Own
Corpus, Analyzing Your Quantitative Results, and Making Sense of
Data - the book emphasizes hands-on experience with performing
language analysis research and in interpreting findings in a
meaningful and engaging way. Readers are given multiple
opportunities to analyze and apply language data by completing
smaller tasks and corpus projects using publicly available corpora.
The book also takes readers through the process of building a
specialized corpus designed to answer a specific research question
and provides detailed information on completing a final research
project that includes both a written paper and an oral presentation
of their specific research projects. Doing Corpus Linguistics
provides students in applied linguistics and TESOL with the
opportunity to gain proficiency in the technical and interpretive
aspects of corpus research and to encourage them to participate in
the growing field of corpus linguistics.
