Corpus Linguistics: Method, theory and practice

Published by Cambridge UP in Autmn 2011.

What is Corpus Linguistics: Method, theory and practice?

Corpus Linguistics: Method, theory and practice is a new textbook introducing corpus linguistics, published by Cambridge University Press, and written by Tony McEnery and Andrew Hardie.

What does this website contain?

This website contains two broad types of material: four sample sections drawn from the book, and supplementary material including answers to the exercises in the book, extended footnotes, extended references, and directories of web-links relevant to the book.

Sections One to Four

The main content of this website is organised into four sections — each of which corresponds to one of the first four chapters of the book Corpus Linguistics: Method, theory and practice. Each section contains a series of distinct pages, all of which can be accesed through the menu on the left-hand-side.

These pages don't contain direct extracts from chapters 1 to 4 of the book. Rather, they contain an abbreviated version of the content of each chapter. In many cases, we have reduced the amount of detail to make the material digestible in webpage-form, and rewritten much of the text to ensure the shorter online version keeps its overall coherence! We have also added some interactive material that was not possible in the printed book.

These four main sections of the site have been designed so that each one could serve as the core of a single taught session on corpus linguistics. They can hopefully stand alone in this capacity — though of course we hope that once we've whetted your appetite, you'll want to read the whole book.
