Abstract:

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

Corpus linguistics is a long-established method which uses authentic language
data, stored in extensive computer corpora, as the basis for linguistic
research. Moving away from the traditional intuitive approach to linguistics,
which used made-up examples, corpus linguistics has made a significant
contribution to all areas of the field. Until very recently, corpus
linguistics has focused almost exclusively on syntax and the lexicon; however
corpus-based approaches to the other subfields of linguistics are now rapidly
emerging, and this is the first handbook on corpus pragmatics as a field.
Bringing together a team of leading scholars from around the world, this
handbook looks at how the use of corpus data has informed research into
different key aspects of pragmatics, including pragmatic principles, pragmatic
markers, evaluation, reference, speech acts, and conversational organisation.
