[Corpora-List] Corpus Linguistics Textbook

[Mieke van der Velden]

Hello,

>From a student's point of view, and for what it's worth, we used Corpus Linguistics: Investigating Language Structure and Use (http://assets.cambridge.org/97805214/96223/description/9780521496223_description.htm), which I found clear and comprehensive.
Another book I used is Corpus-Based Language studies: An Advanced Resource Book. It has a companion website that you can find here: http://www.routledge.com/textbooks/0415286239/ Personally I found the second book more user-friendly.

Best,
Mieke

  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.
