* Features/Benefits o The first book to comprehensively and
systematically review corpus analytic research methods to
understand/examine second language acquisition (L2 use, processing,
development, and pedagogy). o Discusses recent empirical studies
that employ these techniques to apply corpus linguistic methods
across diverse areas of SLA and theoretical orientations, and
highlights the contributions that corpus methods have made to the
studies' results. o Discusses how new and emerging corpus
linguistic methods can be fruitfully used in future SLA research. *
Demand/Audience o The field of Second Language Acquisition has had
a marked increase in studies on and interest in corpus- and
usage-based approaches. This book serves that audience in both
courses and personal research use with a comprehensive, up-to-date,
how-to volume on corpus-based research methodology. o A unique
resource for students and researchers of SLA and applied
linguistics, corpus linguistics, second language pedagogy, bi- and
multilingualism, and language teaching. * Competition o No real
competition. Extant books in this area fail to cover corpus
linguistics methods for SLA comprehensively as this book does; they
either report findings from a specific research study or focus on a
single theoretical perspective/particular area of SLA. o Many of
the books in this area are edited volumes, which lack the unified
authoritative voice of a single author that this book will have.

In the past few decades the use of increasingly large text corpora
has grown rapidly in language and linguistics research. This was
enabled by remarkable strides in natural language processing (NLP)
technology, technology that enables computers to automatically and
efficiently process, annotate and analyze large amounts of spoken
and written text in linguistically and/or pragmatically meaningful
ways. It has become more desirable than ever before for language
and linguistics researchers who use corpora in their research to
gain an adequate understanding of the relevant NLP technology to
take full advantage of its capabilities. This volume provides
language and linguistics researchers with an accessible
introduction to the state-of-the-art NLP technology that
facilitates automatic annotation and analysis of large text corpora
at both shallow and deep linguistic levels. The book covers a wide
range of computational tools for lexical, syntactic, semantic,
pragmatic and discourse analysis, together with detailed
instructions on how to obtain, install and use each tool in
different operating systems and platforms. The book illustrates how
NLP technology has been applied in recent corpus-based language
studies and suggests effective ways to better integrate such
technology in future corpus linguistics research. This book
provides language and linguistics researchers with a valuable
reference for corpus annotation and analysis.

This book presents a collection of original research articles that
showcase the state of the art of research in corpus and
computational linguistic approaches to Chinese language teaching,
learning and assessment. It offers a comprehensive set of corpus
resources and natural language processing tools that are useful for
teaching, learning and assessing Chinese as a second or foreign
language; methods for implementing such resources and techniques in
Chinese pedagogy and assessment; as well as research findings on
the effectiveness of using such resources and techniques in various
aspects of Chinese pedagogy and assessment.
