How can you do discourse analysis using corpus linguistics? Which methods should you use and when? What is a triangulatory framework or a collocational network?

Introducing the major techniques, methods and tools you need to be aware of, this book answers these questions and more, showing you how to best use corpora in your analysis of discourse. Using carefully tailored case studies, each chapter is devoted to a central technique, including frequency, concordancing and keywords, taking you step by step through the process of applying different analytical procedures. Introducing a wide range of different corpora, from holiday brochures to political debates, you will consider the key debates and latest advances in the field.

Fully revised and updated, this new edition includes:

- A new chapter on how to conduct research projects in corpus-based discourse analysis.
- Completely rewritten chapters on concordancing and collocation, to include a corpus of jihadist propaganda texts, and the British National Corpus.
- New case studies, with examples from the USA, Australia and China.
- Coverage of major new tools, including CQPweb, AntConc, Sketch Engine and #LancsBox.
- Discussion of newer techniques, including multimodal analysis of concordance lines, the derivation of lockwords and gold star keywords, and the comparison of multiple data sets for diachronic analysis.

With each chapter ending with exercises, discussion questions and suggested further readings, this second edition of Using Corpora in Discourse Analysis is the only book you’ll need to show you how to use corpus linguistics to carry out discourse analysis.

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence.
