"Corpus Linguistics for Grammar provides an accessible and practical overview of how we can use corpus linguistics to analyse grammar. It examines the kinds of corpora available and the tools which can be used to analyse them, demonstrates how features of grammar can be explored using corpora, and provides three illustrative examples of research projects based on corpus data. Targeted at final year undergraduate and postgraduate university students studying within the areas of English Language, Literature, Applied Linguistics and TESOL, this book will be essential reading for any students undertaking grammar corpus research"--

Corpus Linguistics for Grammar provides an accessible and practical introduction to the use of corpus linguistics to analyse grammar, demonstrating the wider application of corpus data and providing readers with all the skills and information they need to carry out their own corpus-based research.

This book:

  • explores the kinds of corpora available and the tools which can be used to analyse them;
  • looks at specific ways in which features of grammar can be explored using a corpus through analysis of areas such as frequency and colligation;
  • contains exercises, worked examples and suggestions for further practice with each chapter;
  • provides three illustrative examples of potential research projects in the areas of English Literature, TESOL and English Language.

Corpus Linguistics for Grammar is essential reading for students undertaking corpus-based research into grammar, or studying within the areas of English Language, Literature, Applied Linguistics and TESOL.

Todd Hernįndez, Marquette University, USA

"This valuable how-to guide for carrying out grammar research is very accessible and contains lots of self-study exercises for the reader to try out." Colin Thompson, Seinan Gakuin University, Japan

"Corpus Linguistics for Grammar provides a strong and clear argument in favour of using corpus analysis to improve knowledge and understanding of grammar and also offers many useful examples of research projects in this increasingly important area of study for students and teachers of language."
