As a secondary source, I recommend the first chapter of McEnery and
Wilson's book pretty highly.  As a primary source, Chuck Fillmore's
paper in Directions in Corpus Linguistics is tough to beat (and fun to
read).

McEnery and Wilson:

Directions in Corpus Linguistics:

Chuck Fillmore's paper on Google Books:
