Corpus Perspectives on Patterns of Lexis Hardback
Edited by Hilde Hasselgard, Jarle Ebeling, Signe Oksefjell Ebeling
Part of the Studies in Corpus Linguistics series
Hardback
Description
A hallmark of corpus linguistics is the study of patterns of language use.
The studies presented in this volume all use corpora to investigate patterns of lexis from various perspectives.
The first section, "Sequence and Order", presents theoretical and practical aspects of the linguist's task of uncovering the principles that determine such patterns.
The next section, "Competing Constructions", discusses the relationship between lexical patterns with similar meanings in the light of diachronic, regional and register variation.
New developments in terms of lexicogrammatical meaning and patterning are dealt with in the section "Emerging Patterns".
The final section, "Correlating patterns and meaning", discusses ways in which meaning can be studied in corpus data despite the lack of narrowly defined search terms.
Though situated at different points on a continuum between lexical and grammatical emphasis, the studies all confirm the inseparability of lexis and grammar.
