Abstract:

This book reflects the growing influence of corpus linguistics in a varietyof areas such as lexicography, translation studies, genre analysis, andlanguage teaching.

The book is divided into two sections, the first on monolingual corpora andthe second addressing multilingual corpora. The range of languages coveredincludes English, French and German, but also Chinese and some of the lesswidely known and less widely explored central and eastern Europeanlanguage. The chapters discuss:

- the relationship between methodology and theory- the importance of computers for linking textual segments, providingteaching tools, or translating texts- the significance of training corpora and human annotation- how corpus linguistic investigations can shed light on social andcultural aspects of language

Presenting fascinating research in the field, this book will be of interestto academics researching the applications of corpus linguistics in modernlinguistic studies and the applications of corpus linguistics.
