The Cambridge Handbook of English Corpus Linguistics (CHECL)
surveys the breadth of corpus-based linguistic research on English,
including chapters on collocations, phraseology, grammatical
variation, historical change, and the description of registers and
dialects. The most innovative aspects of the CHECL are its emphasis
on critical discussion, its explicit evaluation of the state of the
art in each sub-discipline, and the inclusion of empirical case
studies. While each chapter includes a broad survey of previous
research, the primary focus is on a detailed description of the
most important corpus-based studies in this area, with discussion
of what those studies found, and why they are important. Each
chapter also includes a critical discussion of the corpus-based
methods employed for research in this area, as well as an explicit
summary of new findings and discoveries.
