This handbook is a comprehensive practical resource on corpus linguistics. It features a range of basic and advanced approaches, methods and techniques in corpus linguistics, from corpus compilation principles to quantitative data analyses. The Handbook is organized in six Parts. Parts I to III feature chapters that discuss key issues and the know-how related to various topics around corpus design, methods and corpus types. Parts IV-V aim to offer a user-friendly introduction to the quantitative analysis of corpus data: for each statistical technique discussed, chapters provide a practical guide with R and come with supplementary online material. Part VI focuses on how to write a corpus linguistic paper and how to meta-analyze corpus linguistic research. The volume can serve as a course book as well as for individual study. It will be an essential reading for students of corpus linguistics as well as experienced researchers who want to expand their knowledge of the field.
“It has been a true pleasure to read, especially thanks to its clear and very thoughtfully planned structure and carefully selected representative studies. Very well-edited and well-organised in its comprehensiveness, this handbook constitutes an invaluable resource both for corpus linguists and other researchers who are starting to familiarise themselves with corpora.” (Leida Maria Monaco, Corpus Pragmatics, Vol. 6, 2022)
