Abstract:

Corpus linguistics has become one of the most widely used methodologies across
the different linguistic subdisciplines; especially the study of world-wide
varieties of English uses corpus-based investigations as one of the chief
methodologies. This volume comprises descriptions of the many new corpus
initiatives both within and outside Africa that aim to compile various corpora
of African Englishes. Moreover, it contains cutting-edge corpus-based research
on African Englishes and the use of corpora in pedagogic contexts within
African institutions. This volume thus serves both as a practical introduction
to corpus compilation (Part I of the book), corpus-based research (Part II)
and the application of corpora in language teaching (Part III), and is
intended both for those researchers not yet familiar with corpus linguistics
and as a reference work for all international researchers investigating the
linguistic properties of African Englishes.
