Description
Providing a state-of-the art overview of key topics in Corpus Linguistics, this book demonstrates the current significance and future potential of Corpus Linguistics, highlighting the interdisciplinary nature of the field. In the digital world, innovative technologies enable a variety of approaches to language data analysis across fields and disciplines. This Handbook illustrates what Corpus Linguistics has to offer to, and how it can benefit from, a cross-disciplinary perspective. The Handbook brings together a group of internationally leading scholars and explores a wide range of disciplines, including many that fall beyond the standard core of Corpus Linguistics. Among the array of areas covered, for example, are data science, business and e-commerce, politics, media, healthcare, and gender. In doing so, the book illustrates and argues for the cross-disciplinary discourse that is needed to address the challenges of analysing language in today's world of digital texts and data.
