Abstract:

This volume will be of particular interest to readers interested in
expanding the applications of corpus linguistics techniques through new
tools and approaches. The text includes selected papers from the Fifth
North American Symposium, hosted by the Linguistics Department at Montclair
State University in Montclair New Jersey in May 2004.  The symposium papers
represented several areas of corpus studies including language development,
syntactic analysis, pragmatics and discourse, language change, register
variation, corpus creation and annotation, and practical applications of
corpus work, primarily in language teaching, but also in medical training
and machine translation. A common thread through most of the papers was the
use of corpora to study domains longer than the word. Not surprisingly,
fully half of the papers deal with the computational tools and linguistic
strategies needed to search for and analyze these longer spans of language
while most of the remaining papers examine particular syntactic and
rhetorical properties of one or more corpora.
