Abstract:

This book brings together a number of empirical studies that use
corpora to study discourse patterns in speech and writing. It explores
new trends in the area of text and discourse characterized by the
alliance between text linguistics and areas such as corpus
linguistics, genre analysis, literary stylistics and cross-linguistic
studies. The contributions to the volume show how established corpora
can be used to ask a number of new questions about the interface
between speech and writing, the relation between grammar and
discourse, academic discourse, cohesive markers, stylistic devices
such as metaphor, deixis and non-verbal communication. The corpora
used for text-analysis can also be tailor-made for the study of
particular genres such as journal article abstracts, lectures,
e-mailing list messages, headlines and titles. A recent development is
to bring in contrastive data from bilingual corpora to show what is
language-specific in the organization of the text.
