About This Book

This book examines approaches to carrying out discourse analysis (DA) using techniques that are grounded in corpus linguistics. Assuming no prior knowledge of corpora, the book examines and evaluates a variety of corpus-based methodologies including:

*collocations,
*keyness
*concordances
*dispersion plots
*building and annotating corpora

Illustrated with a number of real-life examples of corpus-based DA from a range of sources and covering a variety of subjects, this is an informative introduction to using corpus linguistics as a methodology in discourse analysis.

The

is
anotherĀ 
matter.Ā 
Perhaps
the
moreĀ 
negativeĀ 
idiomaticĀ 
metaphoric
uses

blind
haveĀ 
alwaysĀ 
existed
in

is
thatĀ 
there
