Abstract:

The chapters in this collected volume illuminate the dynamic success story 
of English corpus linguistics over the past few decades. The book is 
organised in three parts. The chapters in Part I set the scene by addressing 
fundamental issues such as the balance between automated and manual 
analyses, and the urgent call for more communication and collaboration 
across subjects and research areas. The studies in Part II highlight patterns 
in Present-day English from a cross-linguistic perspective, and identify and 
analyse stylistic trends in recent English. Part III is devoted to aspects of the 
rich variation and long-term change characteristic of early English.
Two themes cut across the chapters in the book. One of them is the 
impressive volume and diversity of digitised material available for English 
corpus linguists today and the issues that arise for researchers wishing to 
combine different data sources in their analyses. The other theme concerns 
the benefits that advances made in English corpus linguistics may offer to 
other disciplines.
