Abstract:

This book showcases eleven studies dealing with corpora and the changing
society. The theme of the volume reflects the fact that changes in society
lead to changes in language and vice versa. Focusing on the English language,
be it from Old English to the present, or a shorter time span in the immediate
past, the contributors in this volume use a variety of corpus methods to
address the two patterns of change. The cross-fertilization of cultural
studies and corpus linguistics, we hope, is beneficial for both parties, as
corpus linguistics offers a vast array of materials and methods to investigate
cultural and societal change, while cultural studies provide the theoretical
background on which to build our research. The studies included in the present
volume illustrate the potential avenues and the merits of combining changing
language and changing societies.
