Exploring Corpus Linguistics by Winnie Cheng

This textbook adopts a truly applied linguistics perspective to engage readers in the discovery, exploration and solution of genuine and authentic linguistic problems in a range of communicative contexts using corpus evidence.

Exploring Corpus Linguistics is a useful practical introduction to central corpus linguistics concepts and applications, packed with summaries of intriguing case studiesI recommend the book to students of Applied Linguistics who, no doubt, will appreciate its hands-on style, numerous examples, and ideas for things to explore about language in use in a range of different contexts.’

Ute Römer, Georgia State University, USA

‘This volume provides an up-to-date introduction to aspects of corpus linguistics which are important to both learners and teachers of English. It demonstrates how corpus-linguistic methods can be fruitfully used to address problems and issues in the major fields of linguistics and applied linguistics.’

Karin Aijmer, University of Gothenburg, Sweden

Exploring Corpus Linguistics is a new introduction to corpus linguistics. It provides a clear, systematic approach, breaking fresh ground through the use of guided, practical ‘tasks’ which will make the book of particular interest for teachers and students alike.’

Graeme Kennedy, Emeritus Professor, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand
