[Corpora-List] Corpus Linguistics Textbook

[Elisa Duarte Teixeira]

Hello,

I´ve been using "Working with Specialized Language: A Practical Guide  
to Using Corpora" (Bowker and Pearson - take a look at  
http://www.routledge.com/textbooks/0415236991/about/about.html) with  
my translation and terminology students and they just love it (some of  
them are also second language teachers). The authors explain all  
Corpus Linguistics basic concepts very well and clearly, even for an  
absolute beginner, without favouring any specific tool.
I hope you also like it!
