Ten Lectures on Corpora and Cognitive Linguistics
Series: - Distinguished Lectures in Cognitive Linguistics, Volume: 29
Author:
In this book, Michael Barlow describes ways in which corpus data can be used to provide insights into various aspects of grammar, taking a usage-based perspective. The book deals with both the practical and the theoretical aspects of using corpora for language analysis. Some of the topics covered include corpora and usage-based linguistics, collocations and constructions, categorisation in everyday language, blends, and discourse organisation. A couple of recurring themes in the volume are (i) the relationship between theory and data and (ii) the importance and consequences of looking at individual variation in language use.
Michael Barlow received his Ph.D. in Linguistics from Stanford University. He is currently Associate Professor in Applied Linguistics at the University of Auckland. Dr Barlow has created several text analysis programs including MonoConc, ParaConc, Collocate, and more recently, WordSkew.
