The term corpus-assisted discourse studies (CADS) was coined ten years
ago. Although such research dates back at least to Biber (1988) and
Stubbs (1996), it was in those days still possible to lament: <i>In
comparison with the impressive strides corpus linguistics has made in
the fields of lexicography, grammatical description, register studies
etc, it has had relatively little to say in describing features of
discourse, particularly of interaction, that is, the rhetorical aspects
of texts</i>. </div>
<div style="text-align:left;border-top-width:0px;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-width:0px;border-color:initial;font-family:inherit;font-size:15px;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:1.625em;margin-left:0px;outline-width:0px;outline-color:initial;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;vertical-align:baseline;">
This is clearly no longer the case. In these ten years CADS has come of
age with major projects under its belt on, among others, the reporting
of immigration, reporting the Iraq conflict, White House press relations
and perceptions of the EU. Language topics studied include evaluation,
discourse organisation, facework/politeness, metaphor, irony,
stylistics, diachronic linguistics, and many more. </div>
<div style="text-align:left;border-top-width:0px;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-width:0px;border-color:initial;font-family:inherit;font-size:15px;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:1.625em;margin-left:0px;outline-width:0px;outline-color:initial;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;vertical-align:baseline;">
But new questions have arisen. Is CADS a coherent discipline? What are
its methods? What are the overall objectives of CADS research(ers)? Has
its focus altered over the years and is it likely to alter in the
future? And, of course: is it more than just the sum of discourse
analysis and computing? If so, what is its added value? </div>
