Description: The publication of Corpus Linguistics is noteworthy: as the first volume in the new series "Edinburgh Textbooks in Empirical Linguistics", this textbook reflects not only the increasing importance that empirically-based studies of language are coming to play in linguistics but the prominent role that corpus linguistics has assumed among the many different empirically-based approaches to language study. In Corpus Linguistics, McEnery and Wilson very clearly introduce the field of corpus linguistics to students, providing a very effective overview of the key linguistic and computational issues that corpus linguists have to address as they create corpora and conduct analyses of them.
