The Routledge Handbook of Corpus Approaches to Discourse Analysis
highlights the diversity, breadth, and depth of corpus approaches
to discourse analysis, compiling new and original research from
notable scholars across the globe. Chapters showcase recent
developments influenced by the exponential growth in linguistic
computing, advances in corpus design and compilation, and the
applications of sound quantitative and interpretive techniques in
analyzing text and discourse patterns. Key discourse domains
covered by 35 empirical chapters include: * Research contexts and
methodological considerations; * Naturally occurring spoken,
professional, and academic discourse; * Corpus approaches to
conversational discourse, media discourse, and professional and
academic writing. The Routledge Handbook of Corpus Approaches to
Discourse Analysis is key reading for both experienced and novice
researchers working at the intersection of corpus linguistics and
discourse analysis, as well as anyone undertaking study in these
areas, as well as anyone interested in related fields and adjacent
research approaches.
Studies in Corpus-Based Sociolinguistics illustrates how
sociolinguistic approaches and linguistic distributions from
corpora can be effectively combined to produce meaningful studies
of language use and language variation. Three major parts comprise
the volume focusing on: (1) Corpora and the Study of Languages and
Dialects, in particular, varieties of global Englishes; (2) Corpora
and Social Demographics; and (3) Corpora and Register
Characteristics. The 14 peer-reviewed, new, and original chapters
explore language variation related to regional dialectology,
gender, sexuality, age, race, 'nation,' workplace discourse,
diachronic change, and social media and web registers. Invited
contributors made use of systematically-designed general and
specialized corpora, sound research questions, methodologies (e.g.,
keyword analysis, multi-dimensional analysis, clusters, and
collocations), and logical/credible interpretive techniques.
Studies in Corpus-Based Sociolinguistics is an important resource
for researchers and graduate students in the fields of
sociolinguistics, corpus linguistics, and applied linguistics.
In the last decade, the availability of corpora and the
technological advancements of corpus tools have increased
dramatically. Applied linguists have greater access to data from
around the world and in a variety of languages through websites,
blogs, and social networking sites, and there is a high level of
interest among these scholars in applying corpora and corpus-based
methods to other research areas, particularly sociolinguistics.
This innovative guidebook presents a systematic, in-depth account
of using corpora in sociolinguistics. It introduces and expands the
application of corpora and corpus approaches and tools in
sociolinguistic research, surveys the growing number of studies in
corpus-based sociolinguistics, and provides instructions and
options for designing and developing corpus-based studies. Readers
will find practical information on such contemporary topics as
workplace registers, megacorpora, and using the web as a corpus.
Vignettes, case studies, discussion questions, and activities
throughout further enhance students' involvement with the material
and provide opportunities for hands-on practice of the methods
discussed. Corpus-Based Sociolinguistics is a comprehensive and
accessible guide, a must-read for any student or scholar interested
in exploring this popular and promising approach to sociolinguistic
research.

This book presents a corpus-based study of spoken learner language
produced by university-level ESL students in the classroom. Using
contemporary theories as a guide and employing cutting-edge corpus
analysis tools and methods, the authors analyse a variety of
learner speech to offer many new insights into the nature and
characteristics of the spoken language of college ESL learners.
Focusing on types of speech that are rarely examined, this original
work makes a significant contribution to the study and
understanding of ESL spoken language at university level. It will
appeal to students and scholars of applied linguistics, corpus
linguistics, second language acquisition and discourse analysis.
This book offers original corpus research in a range of workplace
contexts including office-based settings, call center interactions
and healthcare communication. Chapters in this edited volume bring
together leading scholars in the field of corpus analysis in
workplace discourse and include data from multiple corpora.
Employing a range of qualitative and quantitative analytic
approaches including Conversation Analysis, Linguistic Profiling
and Register Analysis, the book introduces unique specialized
corpus data in the areas of Augmentative and Alternative
Communication, nursing, and cross-cultural communication, among
others.
Corpus Linguistics for English Teachers: New Tools, Online
Resources, and Classroom Activities describes Corpus Linguistics
(CL) and its many relevant, creative, and engaging applications to
language teaching and learning for teachers and practitioners in
TESOL and ESL/EFL, and graduate students in applied linguistics.
English language teachers, both novice and experienced, can benefit
from the list of new tools, sample lessons, and resources as well
as the introduction of topics and themes that connect CL constructs
to established theories in language teaching and second language
acquisition. Key topics discussed include: * CL and the teaching of
English vocabulary, grammar, and spoken-written academic discourse;
* new tools, online resources, and classroom activities; and *
focus on the "English teacher as a corpus-based researcher." With
ready-to-use teaching vignettes, tips and step-by-step guides, case
studies with practitioner interviews, and discussion of corpora and
corpus tools, Corpus Linguistics for English Teachers is a

Taking readers step-by-step through the major issues surrounding
the use of English in the global aviation industry, this book
provides a clear introduction to turning research into practice in
the field of English for Specific Purposes (ESP), specifically
Aviation English, and a valuable case study of applied linguistics
in action. With both cutting-edge research and evidence-based
practice, the critical role of English in aviation is explored
across a variety of contexts, including the national and global
policies impacting training and language assessment for pilots,
air-traffic controllers, ground staff, and students. English in
Global Aviation teaches readers how to apply linguistic research to
real world, practical settings. The book uses a range of
corpus-based findings and related research to provide an effective
analysis of the language needs of the aviation industry and an
extended look at linguistic principles in action. Readers are
presented with case studies, transcriptions, radiotelephony, and a
clear breakdown of the common vocabulary and phrasal patterns of
aviation discourse. Students and teachers of both linguistics and
aviation will discover the requirements and challenges of
successful intercultural communication in this industry, as well as
insights into how to teach, develop, and assess aviation English
language courses.
