------------------------------------------

This book provides a comprehensive introduction and guide to Corpus
Linguistics. All aspects of the field are explored, from the various types
of electronic corpora that are available to instructions on how to design
and compile a corpus. Graeme Kennedy surveys the development of corpora for
use in linguistic research, looking back to the pre-electronic age as well
as to the massive growth of computer corpora in the electronic age.

The study focuses primarily on corpus-based descriptions of English: lexis,
morphology, syntax and variation. It includes a wide-ranging overview of
the published research of corpus linguists to illustrate the results and
potential of distributional analyses of English. The section on corpus
analysis describes the methodology and procedures that are generally
employed including lemmatization, tagging, parsing and the use of important
search and retrieval software to produce word-lists, concordances and other
analyses. The final section of the book discusses ways in which the
corpus-based analysis of languages may contribute to linguistic theory, the
description of languages, computational linguistics and language teaching.

An Introduction to Corpus Linguistics" will appeal to all involved in the
study of language, from English language teachers and students of
Linguistics to those already involved in research in this fast-growing
field.
