Multiperspectives in analysis and corpus design

Resum

The readers of perspectives in analysis and Corpus design will find nine selected peer reviewed and original contributions which Deal with key aspects in recent trends in Corpus linguistics: the developments in Corpus design, Compilation procedures and annotation, and the different analytical perspectives in which Corpus techniques have become a core empirical methodology, either in isolation, or combined with other approaches that help reinforce arguments. It will be found that, in most of the articles, the authors themselves have compiled their own study Corpus. Consequently, as it is customary in Corpus linguistics research, a justification of the Compilation procedure (e.G. Sampling parameters or representativeness) is part and parcel of the discussion. The research areas to which Corpus linguistics has been successfully applied in this volume include historical linguistics, Linguistic variations, discourse analysis, computational linguistics and Translation.
