Abstract:

Register and Discourse through the Lens of Corpus Linguistics offers a
rigorous and engaging exploration of two of the field’s most dynamic
areas. Drawing on key frameworks – including Construction Grammar,
Corpus-Assisted Discourse Studies, Speech Act Theory, and Local
Grammar – the volume showcases how qualitative and quantitative
corpus-driven methods illuminate the interplay between linguistic
form, communicative function, and contextual embedding. Across eleven
chapters, contributors examine a breadth of linguistic features, from
swearing, syntactic fragments, prenominal modification, nonstandard
forms, and phraseology to interruption and humour, expressive acts,
epistemic presupposition, expertise, and predictive stance. The
studies span diverse settings – teen talk, Reddit forums, news media,
historical newspapers, workplace interaction, political debate, and
economic discourse – and incorporate synchronic and diachronic
perspectives, as well as cross-linguistic comparisons. Collectively,
the chapters demonstrate how register and discourse intersect as
mutually informing dimensions of language use, enriching established
research traditions and offering practical models for future inquiry.
Their insights extend beyond corpus linguistics, resonating with
scholarship in sociolinguistics, pragmatics, World Englishes, and
applied linguistics.
