Corpus Linguistics seeks to provide a comprehensive sampling of
real-life usage in a given language, and to use these empirical
data to test language hypotheses. Modern corpus linguistics began
fifty years ago, but the subject has seen explosive growth since
the early 1990s. These days corpora are being used to advance
virtually every aspect of language study, from computer processing
techniques such as machine translation, to literary stylistics,
social aspects of language use, and improved language-teaching
methods. Because corpus linguistics has grown fast from small
beginnings, newcomers to the field often find it hard to get their
bearings. Important papers can be difficult to track down. This
volume reprints forty-two articles on corpus linguistics by an
international selection of authors, which comprehensively
illustrate the directions in which the subject is developing. It
includes articles that are already recognized as classics, and
others which deserve to become so, supplemented with editorial
introductions relating the individual contributions to the field as
a whole. This collection of readings will be useful to students of
corpus linguistics at both undergraduate and postgraduate level, as
well as academics researching this fascinating area of linguistics.
