Description

This book provides an introduction to using corpora in discourse analysis, covering major techniques and tools for corpus-assisted analysis of discourse. It explores how to apply different analytical procedures and discusses key debates and latest advances in the field.

Through carefully tailored case studies and a wide range of corpora, including holiday brochures and political debates, the book shows readers how to best use corpora in their analyses of discourse. The new edition includes updated chapters on research projects, collocation, advanced techniques, and newer methods such as lockwords and diachronic analysis.

With exercises, discussion questions, and suggested further readings, this book is an excellent guide for those looking to carry out discourse analysis using corpus linguistics techniques.
