Corpus Linguistics and the Web (Language and Computers, 59) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Using the Web as Corpus is one of the recent challenges for corpus linguistics. This volume presents a current state-of-the-arts discussion of the topic. The articles address practical problems such as suitable linguistic search tools for accessing the www, the question of register variation, or they probe into methods for culling data from the web. The book also offers a wide range of case studies, covering morphology, syntax, lexis, as well as synchronic and diachronic variation in English. These case studies make use of the two approaches to the www in corpus linguistics – web-as-corpus and web-for-corpus-building. The case studies demonstrate that web data can provide useful additional evidence for a broad range of research questions.

Review
In this volume many of the major issues in using the web for linguistic research are discussed and clarified This very timely volume gives a good overview of a fast-growing field. in: Journal of Corpus Linguistics 13:4 (2008)
Corpus linguistics and the web makes up a valuable contribution to corpus linguistics in the fourth age. With its general approach to both potentials and problems in web linguistics, it fills an important gap in the description of an auspicious research methodology which is zooming rapidly into the twenty-first century with a fair share of growing pains. it offers a wealth of insight into common approaches to web-based language study, with its strength lying in the manifold treatment of web methodology, often in conjunction with traditional corpus methods, and in its variety of interesting research results, either in a WaC or WfC framework. this publication constitutes another important step in the establishment of web linguistics as the currently most rewarding approach in corpus linguistics. in: ICAME Journal 32, April 2008"
