Patterns and Meanings
Using corpora for English language research and teaching
Author
Patterns and Meanings consists of case studies which make use of corpora and concordance technology. Each case study elaborates a problem area, makes reference to both the descriptive and applied literature thus far, and then suggests ways of exploiting corpus data to shed light on the problem. Language phenomena investigated include word sense, phraseology and syntax, metaphor and creative use, text reference, idiom, and translation. Emphasis is given to information that usually cannot be found in dictionaries, grammars, language textbooks or other resources, but which the study of corpus data makes available. This work is particularly important not only for its language description insights, but also for pedagogical application. Further useful suggestions are included on setting up a medium-sized corpus on a personal computer.

“An extremely useful book to use with students taking a corpus linguistics option in an MA program, for instance — it would provide a convenient introduction to their own project work.”
Susan Hunston, University of Birmingham
“This book provides a valuable approach to the growing body of literature on the study of linguistic analysis in an era of computer-driven technology. It should be of interest to scholars who focus on corpus linguistics.”
Morton Benson, compiler of The BBI Dictionary of English Word Combinations
“Since Patterns and Meanings combines an excellent overview of corpus linguistics illustrated by a series of insightful and original analyses, it is likely to become a popular textbook in corpus linguistics courses.”
Michael Barlow, Rice University
