Abstract:

How might evidence of language use – writing and speech – be used as a way of
studying language? Corpus linguistics is the study of linguistic data from a
particular language or set of languages. It is a fast-moving approach to
studying language, and there is still a degree of divergence in how research
questions are approached using corpus data. This book uses a framework, based
on the work of Karl Popper, to explore a number of fundamental issues in
corpus linguistics. It critically evaluates how these issues are tackled, and
proposes a set of best practices for future research. It spells out why using
corpus data is valuable, what we can learn from using it, and how we may most
effectively progress our understanding of language by using such data. It is
essential reading for researchers and students of language in general, and of
applied linguistics and English language in particular.
