Abstract:

The Cambridge Handbook of English Corpus Linguistics (CHECL) surveys the
breadth of corpus-based linguistic research on English, including chapters on
collocations, phraseology, grammatical variation, historical change, and the
description of registers and dialects. The most innovative aspects of the
CHECL are its emphasis on critical discussion, its explicit evaluation of the
state of the art in each sub-discipline, and the inclusion of empirical case
studies. While each chapter includes a broad survey of previous research, the
primary focus is on a detailed description of the most important corpus-based
studies in this area, with discussion of what those studies found, and why
they are important. Each chapter also includes a critical discussion of the
corpus-based methods employed for research in this area, as well as an
explicit summary of new findings and discoveries.
