Corpus Approaches to Discourse: A Critical Review

Corpus linguistics has now come of age and Corpus Approaches to Discourse equips students with the means to question, defend and refine the methodology. The chapters, written by leading authorities, each contain an overview of an emerging area and a case-study, presenting practical advice alongside theoretical reflection. With an introduction by the editors and a conclusion by leading researcher, Paul Baker, this is key reading for advanced students and researchers of corpus linguistics and discourse analysis.
