Is the internet a suitable linguistic corpus? How can we use it in
corpus techniques? What are the special properties that we need to
be aware of? This book answers those questions. The Web is an
exponentially increasing source of language and corpus linguistics
data. From gigantic static information resources to user-generated
Web 2.0 content, the breadth and depth of information available is
breathtaking - and bewildering. This book explores the theory and
practice of the "web as corpus". It looks at the most common tools
and methods used and features a plethora of examples based on the
author's own teaching experience. This book also bridges the gap
between studies in computational linguistics, which emphasize
technical aspects, and studies in corpus linguistics, which focus
on the implications for language theory and use.
This reader investigates the changing face of the notion of
culture, tracing how it emerged in some of the most important and
controversial phases of the lively Anglo-American debate on the
subject from the late nineteenth century to the mid-twentieth
century, including the crucial years of Modernism. Shedding light
on the cross-disciplinary approaches that characterized the debate
and focusing especially on the legacy of anthropology, the volume
presents a selection of some of the most distinguished voices from
such assorted fields as literature, linguistics, anthropology,
sociology and ethnology, whose interests and areas of enquiry
apparently converged and partly overlapped. A selection of primary
sources from leading figures such as Matthew Arnold, Bronislaw
Malinowski, Ruth Benedict, T. S. Eliot, Ezra Pound and Aldous
Huxley provide an overview of the crucial issues raised on a wide
array of topics: civilization, race, nation, progress, evolution,
education, art, science, literature and politics. The primary
sources are accompanied by critical essays that offer new insights
into these classic texts. This reader will be of use to
undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as to scholars
exploring the cross-disciplinary or transatlantic nature of the
study of culture.
