Abstract:

Corpus linguistics continues to be a vibrant methodology applied across highly
diverse fields of research in the language sciences. With the current steep
rise in corpus sizes, computational power, statistical literacy and
multi-purpose software tools, and inspired by neighbouring disciplines,
approaches have diversified to an extent that calls for an intensification of
the accompanying critical debate. Bringing together a team of leading experts,
this book follows a unique design, comparing advanced methods and approaches
current in corpus linguistics, to stimulate reflective evaluation and
discussion. Each chapter explores the strengths and weaknesses of different
datasets and techniques, presenting a case study and allowing readers to gauge
methodological options in practice. Contributions also provide suggestions for
further reading, and data and analysis scripts are included in an online
appendix. This is an important and timely volume, and will be essential
reading for any linguist interested in corpus-linguistic approaches to
variation and change.
