ADVANCED
Series Editor: Heinz Giegerich
Books in this series provide readers with a detailed description and
explanation of key areas of English Language study. The authors presuppose
a basic working knowledge of the topic and explore aspects of the
linguistics of English for an intermediate or advanced student readership.
Corpus Linguistics and the Description of English
HANS LINDQUIST
A lively hands-on introduction to the use of electronic corpora in the description and
analysis of English, this book 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
author presents a number of case studies providing new insights into vocabulary, collocations,
phraseology, metaphor and metonymy, syntactic structures, male and female language, and
language change. In a final chapter it is shown how the web can be used as a source
for linguistic investigations. Each chapter has study questions, exercises and suggestions for
further reading.
Students will benefit from the book's
•
Clear language and structure
•
Well-defined terminology
•
Step-by-step instructions
•
Generous, up-to-date exemplification from different varieties of English around the world
•
Accompanying web page with exercises and updated information about freely accessible
corpora. See www.euppublishing.com/series/ETOTELAdvanced/Lindquist
Hans Lindquist is associate professor of English Linguistics at
Malmö
University, Sweden.
