Description
Fundamental Principles of Corpus Linguistics is an essential resource for students and researchers seeking to understand corpus-based approaches to language study. Authors Tony McEnery and Vaclav Brezina provide a thorough exploration of how large collections of texts can be systematically analyzed to uncover patterns in language use.
The book covers key concepts including corpus design, annotation, analysis techniques, and computational methods. It bridges the gap between linguistic theory and practical application, demonstrating how corpus linguistics contributes to language teaching, lexicography, and computational linguistics. With clear explanations and real-world examples, this Cambridge University Press publication serves as both an introductory text and a reference guide for understanding how corpora reshape our knowledge of language structure and usage.
