Abstract:

As its title suggests, this book is a selection of papers that use English
corpora to study language variation along three dimensions – time, place and
genre. In broad terms, the book aims to bridge the gap between corpus
linguistics and sociolinguistics and to increase our knowledge of the
characteristics of English language. It includes eleven papers which address a
variety of research questions but with the commonality of a corpus-based
methodology. Some of the contributions deal with language variation in time,
either by looking into historical corpora of English or by adopting the method
known as diachronic comparable corpus linguistics, thus illustrating how
corpora can be used to illuminate either historical or recent developments of
English. Other studies investigate variation in space by comparing different
varieties of English, including some of the “New Englishes” such as the South
Asian varieties of English. Finally, some of the papers deal with variation in
genre, by looking into the use of language for specific purposes through the
inspection of medical articles, social reports and academic writing.
