Abstract:

Editor’s Note: This is a new edition of a previously announced book.

A lively hands-on introduction to the use of electronic corpora in the
description and analysis of English

The second edition of this successful text provides an ideal introduction for
university students of English at the intermediate level. Students planning
papers, dissertations or theses will find the book a particularly valuable
guide.

After introducing corpora and the rationale and basic methodology of corpus
linguistics, the authors present a number of recent case studies providing new
insights into vocabulary, collocations, phraseology, metaphor and metonymy,
syntactic structures, male and female language, and language change. A final
chapter shows how the web and social media can be used as a source for
linguistic investigations and contains information on how to compile your own
corpus. Each chapter includes study questions, exercises and updated
suggestions for further reading.

The second edition features:
* New coverage on social media, DIY corpora and ethical concerns
* New material on metonymy and pragmatics
* Updated example investigations, corpus exercises and study questions
* Examples of how to create your own corpus data
* Information on new corpora with accompanying links

This print editions of this book are available in north, south and central
America through our partners Oxford University Press.
