Corpus Linguistics has grown to become part of the mainstream of Linguistics and Applied Linguistics, as well as being used as an adjunct to other forms of discourse analysis in a variety of fields. It continues to become increasingly complex, both in terms of the methods it uses and in relation to the theoretical concepts it engages with. The Cambridge Elements in Corpus Linguistics series has been designed to meet the needs of both students and researchers who need to keep up with this changing field. The series includes introductions to the main topic areas by experts in the field as well as accounts of the latest ideas and developments by leading researchers.
Gaëtanelle Gilquin is Professor of English Language and Linguistics at UCLouvain and co-director of the Centre for English Corpus Linguistics. She has been involved in several corpus compilation projects and has served on various editorial boards. She is one of the editors of the Cambridge Handbook of Learner Corpus Research.
Paul Baker is Professor of English Language at the Department of Linguistics and English Language, Lancaster University. He specialises in corpus linguistics, particularly using and developing corpus methods to carry out discourse analysis, as well as being involved in research in media language, variation and change and social identities.
The series features Elements on all aspects of Corpus Linguistics, including:
New and traditional methods in Corpus Linguistics, including developments in corpus investigation software, use of statistics, and using publicly available corpora;
Corpus Linguistics and linguistic theories, considering how Corpus Linguistics affects thinking in Psycholinguistics, Language Acquisition Studies, Critical Discourse Analysis, Sociolinguistics, Systemic Functional Linguistics, and more;
The applications of Corpus Linguistics to areas such as language learning and teaching, lexicography, sentiment analysis, and Forensic Linguistics;
The use of Corpus Linguistics in research disciplines other than Linguistics, including Political Science, Literary Studies, History, and Theology.
The exciting Cambridge Elements format means that Elements are supplemented by on-line material such as videos, technical data, and links to other resources, so that readers have all the information they need to understand the Element contents.
