Series Statement:
Studies in Corpus Linguistics (SCL),
Content:
This volume proposes the term pattern-driven approach as a more precise alternative. The chapters illustrate a variety of methods that fall under this broad methodology, such as lexical bundles, POS-grams and semantic frames, and demonstrate how these approaches can uncover new understandings of both synchronic and diachronic linguistic phenomena.
Note:
Based on a special session held at the 2014 European Society for the Study of English conference in Košice (Slovakia).
