About this book

The Yearbook of Corpus Linguistics and Pragmatics 2013 discusses current methodological debates on the synergy of Corpus Linguistics and Pragmatics research. The volume presents insightful pragmatic analyses of corpora in new technological domains and devotes some chapters to the pragmatic description of spoken corpora from various theoretical traditions.

 

The Yearbook of Corpus Linguistics and Pragmatics series will give readers insight into how pragmatics can be used to explain real corpus data, and, in addition, how corpora can explain pragmatic intuitions, and from there, develop and refine theory. Corpus Linguistics can offer a meticulous methodology based on mathematics and statistics, while Pragmatics is characterized by its efforts to interpret intended meaning in real language. This yearbook offers a platform to scholars who combine both research methodologies to present rigorous and interdisciplinary findings about language in real use.

Reviews

From the book reviews:

“The Volume offers a wide variety of perspectives on the corpus-based study of … pragmatics and thus illustrates the benefits of this approach. … Most of the chapters start with a review of the literature and definitions of some basic concepts relevant to the theme under study, which makes the book accessible to novice scholars … . SLA specialists should also find it a good read, as it includes many references to acquisitional pragmatics … .” (Gaëtanelle Gilquin, Discourses Studies, Vol. 17 (1), 2015)

“The first volume of the series Yearbook of Corpus Linguistics and Pragmatics will definitely appeal to newcomers in either field, considering the book’s emphasis on current issues and gaps in both CL and Pragmatics. Furthermore, experienced researchers will benefit from the wide range of topics and domains covered that challenge the current approaches to the study of language and communication.” (Elena del Olmo Bañuelos, Atlantis - Journal of the Spanish Association of Anglo-American Studies, Vol. 36 (2), December, 2014)
