  1. xi, 241 pages; 23 cm
Summary
  1. Hunston's (U. of Birmingham) text introduces students of applied linguistics to corpus investigation. Coverage includes the effect of corpus studies on theories of language and how languages should be described, a critical approach to the methods used in investigating corpora, and a comparison between these methods. The reader will gain an understanding of how language, more specifically English, works, and how a knowledge about language can be applied to language teaching and to contexts other than language teaching.
