This volume investigates the way people use language in speech and writing. It introduces the corpus-based approach to linguistics, based on analysis of large databases of real language examples stored on computer. Each chapter focuses on a different area of linguistics, including lexicography, grammar, discourse, register variation, language acquisition, and historical linguistics. Example analyses are presented in each chapter to provide concrete s of the research methods and advantages of corpus-based techniques. Ten methodology boxes provide concise explanations of the issues in doing corpus-based research and reading corpus-based studies and there is an appendix of resources for corpus-based investigation.
