Abstract:

This book explores the structure and use of academic and professional
discourse through the lens of corpus linguistics. The goal of this book is
to show how insights from corpus linguistic analyses can help us better
understand how we use academic and professional language and help us find
ways to better train newcomers to the genres used in various professional
contexts. The contributions to this book show that specialized corpora of
specific genres from a variety of fields allow us to make more relevant
observations about the function and use of language for particular
purposes. The specialized corpora examined include written and spoken
academic genres, written and spoken business and legal genres, and written
philanthropic genres. The book showcases a variety of approaches to
analyzing the discourse of specialized corpora, and each chapter concludes
with a reflection on the practical and pedagogical implications of the
analysis.
