[Corpora-List] Corpus Linguistics Textbook

[Chris Butler]

If your students are at a fairly advanced level, you could do a lot worse than use the following book:

McEnery, Tony, Richard Xiao and Yukio Tono (2006) Corpus-Based Language Studies: An advanced resource book. London and New York: Routledge.

  Hello,
  I am preparing a syllabus for a senior undergraduate introductory course on corpus linguistics. The focus is on text processing (not computational linguistics). What would be a good textbook for such a course? Many titles have appeared in recent years, but I don't have time to evaluate all of them, and the cost of acquiring more than a couple is beyond my budget. What does 'everyone' use? 
  Thanks much.
