This volume presents current state-of-the-art discussions in corpus-based linguistic research of the English language. The papers deal with Present-day English, worldwide varieties of English and the history of the English language. A special focus of the volume are studies in the broad field of corpus pragmatics and corpus-based discourse analysis. It includes corpus-based studies of speech acts, conversational routines, referential expressions and thought styles, as well as studies on the lexis, grammar and semantics of English. And it also includes several studies on technical aspects of corpus compilation, fieldwork and parsing. Andreas H. Jucker, Daniel Schreier and Marianne Hundt are professors of English linguistics at the University of Zurich.

Industry Reviews

"This book is an excellent resource for anyone interested in how corpus-based research can contribute to the study of higher-level linguistic phenomena. The breadth of the collected papers is impressive, both in terms of their linguistic objects of study, which vary from high-level categories, such as exhortations, to specific constructions and words, as well as in the range of methodological approaches that are adopted by the authors of the studies. ... a remarkable volume, presenting studies that should appeal to newcomers to corpus-based research in pragmatics and discourse as well as those who have already conducted this kind of research and want to stay informed of current approaches." in: The Linguist List 21.2695
