Abstract:

How might evidence of language use – writing and speech – be used as a
way of studying language? Corpus linguistics is the study of
linguistic data from a particular language or set of languages. It is
a fast-moving approach to studying language, and there is still a
degree of divergence in how research questions are approached using
corpus data. This book uses a framework, based on the work of Karl
Popper, to explore a number of fundamental issues in corpus
linguistics. It critically evaluates how these issues are tackled, and
proposes a set of best practices for future research. It spells out
why using corpus data is valuable, what we can learn from using it,
and how we may most effectively progress our understanding of language
by using such data. It is essential reading for researchers and
students of language in general, and of applied linguistics and
English language in particular.
