What is Corpus Linguistics?
As a theory: “…corpus linguistics re-unites the activities of
data gathering and theorizing […] this is leading to a qualitative
change in our understanding of language…” (Halliday, 1993: 24).
As a methodology: “…the study of language based on
examples of ‘real life’ language use and a methodology rather thanan aspect of language requiring explanation or description”
(McEnery & Wilson, 1996: 1).
