Using the 2003 war in Iraq as an illustrative tool for highlighting the impact which advances in communication systems have had on message relays, this book enables a critical evaluation of the way language is used in the news.
Examines real-life speech data from the British National Corpus to show how language is used in natural conversation. This monograph describes the composition, annotation and transcription of the corpus, as well as providing a discussion of the methodology used in corpus analysis.
Focuses on the investigation of linguistic variation in Spanish, considering spoken and written, specialised and non-specialised registers from a corpus linguistics approach and employing computational tools. This analysis of using Spanish corpora is suitable for researchers in corpus linguistics or Spanish language.
Reflects the influence of corpus linguistics in areas such as lexicography, translation studies, genre analysis, and language teaching. This book is divided into two sections, the first on monolingual corpora and the second addressing multilingual corpora. It is of interest to academics researching the applications of corpus linguistics.
Explores the complex nature of idiomaticity by bringing together a quantitative corpus-linguistic approach and judgement data. Adopting a usage-based perspective, this study addresses the question 'which factors do speakers rely upon when assessing the idiomaticity of a construction?'.
This volume showcases original, agenda-setting studies in the field of learner corpus research of both spoken and written production. The studies have important applications for classroom pedagogy. The volume brings readers up-to-date with new written and spoken learner corpora, often looking at previously under-examined variables in learner corpus investigations. It also demonstrates innovative applications of learner corpus findings, addressing issues such as the effect of task, the effect of learner variables and the nature of learner language. The volume is of significant interest to researchers working in corpus linguistics, learner corpus research, second language acquisition and English for Academic and Specific Purposes, as well to practitioners interested in the application of the findings in language teaching and assessment.
A compilation of research exploring different ways to apply corpus-based and corpus-informed approaches to English language teaching. It shows how corpora may be used directly in the classroom and how corpus research may be applied to inform syllabi and classroom materials.
Demonstrates how corpus-based research can advance the understanding of linguistic phenomena in a given language. By presenting a detailed analysis of collocations and idioms in a digital corpus of English and German, this volume shows how the use of collocations and idioms has changed over time, and suggests possible triggers for this change.
Using data from a newspaper corpus, this book offers an empirical study into the development of style in early mass media. It analyses how news discourse was shaped over time by external factors, such as the historical context, news production and technological innovation and as such both conformed to and deviated from generic conventions.
Contains papers which focus on meaning, studied not only in monolingual environments, but also contrastively in multilingual contexts.
