This book provides a hands-on introduction to qualitative and especially quantitative corpus-linguistics methods, dealing with both the conceptual and the practical side of conducting corpus-linguistic case studies. The main focus of this book is to illustrate how a wide range of research questions can be tackled with corpus linguistic methods that involve only a modest number of technical hurdles as well as to gently guide the researcher through the technicalities of some more complex methods.
Methods of Corpus Linguistics is aimed at a broad audience of linguists, presenting both basic and modern methods of corpus linguistics.Â
