Corpus Linguistics and the Description of English (Edinburgh Textbooks on the English Language - Advanced)
Hans Lindquist; Magnus Levin
Synopsis "Corpus Linguistics and the Description of English (Edinburgh Textbooks on the English Language - Advanced)"
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.
