"English Corpus Linguistics"



 

"English Corpus Linguistics" is a new series published by Peter Lang which focuses on corpus-based research into the English language, covering synchronic and diachronic aspects both from a descriptive and an applied perspective. The underlying concept of 'corpus linguistics' is broad and refers to the exhaustive analysis of any substantial body of authentic, spoken and/or written texts, ranging from large machine-readable corpora of present-day English over collections of literary texts and newspaper archives to diachronic corpora. This series is open to high-quality corpus-based studies on all aspects of the English language, including synchronic and diachronic language description at all levels of analysis (e.g. lexicogrammar, pragmatics, text-linguistics), applications of corpus-based analysis in other linguistic and non-linguistic fields (e.g. cognitive linguistics, cultural studies, language teaching), analyses of varieties of English and English as a global language.

 

The series is intended to place special emphasis on frequency-based research into naturally occurring text which is complemented with a qualitative and functionalist interpretation of corpus-based quantitative findings. However, studies focusing on issues of corpus-linguistic theory and methodology as well as software development are also welcome.

 

We would like to invite manuscripts written in English or German. Both monographs and edited volumes as well as conference proceedings may be submitted.
