Yearbook of Corpus Linguistics and Pragmatics 2014

The Yearbook of Corpus Linguistics and Pragmatics addresses the interface between the two disciplines and offers a platform to scholars who combine both methodologies to present rigorous and interdisciplinary findings about language in real use. Corpus linguistics and Pragmatics have traditionally represented two paths of scientific thought, parallel but often mutually exclusive and excluding. Corpus Linguistics can offer a meticulous methodology based on mathematics and statistics, while Pragmatics is characterized by its effort in the interpretation of intended meaning in real language. This series will give readers insight into how pragmatics can be used to explain real corpus data and also, how corpora can illustrate pragmatic intuitions.

The present volume, Yearbook of Corpus Linguistics and Pragmatics 2014: New Empirical and Theoretical Paradigms in Corpus Pragmatics, proposes innovative research models in the liaison between pragmatics and corpus linguistics to explain language in current cultural and social contexts.

Presents various methodological possibilities for corpus analysis that can be applied in several linguistics disciplines (contrastive, pedagogic, functional, prosodic, etc.) Offers updated and authoritative research into intriguing aspects of language research and not a mere summary of the state of the art in the discipline Contains book reviews, authored by leading scholars, which will help readers in their choice of methodological options and critical readings Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
