Applications of Corpus Linguistics
Through a diverse set of case studies demonstrating contemporary applications and impacts, this book showcases how corpus linguistics can be used in a range of contexts, from language education to social justice. It is a valuable resource for social scientists aiming to harness linguistic data for impactful change.
With case studies from diverse contexts, this book shows and critically reflects on applications of corpus linguistics research and methods.
Bridging the gap between linguistic theory and practice, this timely book demonstrates the transformative potential of corpus linguistics research and methods across a wide range of contexts.
With contributions from a diverse range of authors, Applications of Corpus Linguistics provides contemporary reflections on both established applications in language education, as well as emergent contexts in which corpus methods are driving social change, such as the media and law.
Each chapter provides case studies that clearly demonstrate pathways from theory and analysis to application and impact, making the theory accessible without assuming specialised knowledge of specific contexts.
Featuring the development of innovative methods and tools, the book shows readers that corpus linguistics is a discipline attuned to both methodological and societal impact.
Showcasing the cutting-edge contributions that corpus linguistics is making to contemporary applied linguistics, this book is essential reading for academics, professionals, and anyone interested in the practical application of language data.
