<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>From a student's point of view, and for what it's
worth, we used <EM>Corpus Linguistics: Investigating Language Structure and
Use</EM> (<A

which I found clear and comprehensive.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Another book I used is <EM>Corpus-Based Language

I found the second book more user-friendly.</FONT></DIV>

Linguistics Textbook</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>Hello,<BR>I am preparing a syllabus for a senior undergraduate
introductory course on corpus linguistics. The focus is on text processing
(not computational linguistics). What would be a good textbook for such a
course? Many titles have appeared in recent years, but I don't have time to
evaluate all of them, and the cost of acquiring more than a couple is beyond
my budget. What does 'everyone' use? <BR>Thanks much.<BR>rmc<BR>
