Abstract:

English Corpora under Japanese Eyes is a fine collection of papers written
in commemoration of the 10th anniversary of the Japan Association of
English Corpus Studies (JAECS). Beginning with the overview of the field by
Stig Johansson, an honorary member of the JAECS, the present volume shows
the state-of-art in English corpus studies in Japan and demonstrates the
creative uses of corpora in a wide range of research topics from studies
drawing on large-scale general corpora, such as British National Corpus and
the Bank of English, to studies based on more specific, historical,
literary, learner and parallel corpora. The papers incorporated in this
anthology are grouped into five sections: 1) Overview of corpus-based
studies, 2) Corpus-based studies of contemporary English, 3) Historical and
diachronic studies of English, 4) Corpus-based studies in English
literature, 5) Corpus and English language teaching. This volume will
inspire still further corpus exploitation in the broader field of the
humanities.
