Is the internet a suitable linguistic corpus? How can we use it in corpus
techniques? What are the special properties that we need to be aware of?
This book answers those questions.
The Web is an exponentially increasing source of language and corpus linguistics
data. From gigantic static information resources to user-generated Web
2.0
content,
the breadth and depth of information available is breathtaking
-
and bewildering.
This book explores the theory and practice of the 'web as corpus'. It looks at the
most common tools and methods used and features a plethora of examples
based on the author's own teaching experience. This book also bridges the gap
between studies in computational linguistics, which emphasize technical aspects,
and studies in corpus linguistics, which focus on the implications for language
theory and use.
