Abstract:

Semantic Prosody is the first full-length treatment of semantic prosody, a
concept which has emerged almost exclusively within the field of corpus
linguistics. The book offers a review of how semantic prosody has been
described and approached in contributions on the subject, as well as a
critical analysis of those contributions and a number of case studies. It
discusses the relevance of the theory of priming for semantic prosody, and
whether semantic prosody has cogency as a theoretical concept. Lastly, it
points the way for future research.

Since work on semantic prosody so far has been occasional, brief, and
distributed across a range of monographs, articles and conference papers,
this book, which does not assume previous knowledge of the subject, will
constitute a fundamental work of reference for scholars, teachers and
students alike. At the same time, Semantic Prosody goes beyond the central
topic of the work and proves to have wide-reaching implications for both
corpus linguistics and linguistics overall. In this sense semantic prosody
is used as a springboard for investigations into issues of vital importance
for corpus studies such as the structuring and presentation of text in a
corpus, the varying methodologies adopted by analysts to approach and
interpret corpus data, as well as broader issues such as the role of
intuition, introspection and elicitation in empirical language studies.
