Hoey Michael, Mahlberg Michaela, Stubbs Michael, Teubert Wolfgang. Text, Discourse and Corpora: Theory and Analysis

Continuum, 2007. — (Corpus and Discourse). — ISBN 9780826491725.The authors of this essay collection show, in a number of different ways, how a base of empirical observation of data - in this case mainly text corpora - can be used as a foundation for a broad range of intellectual exploration. Hoey develops his concept of 'priming' to move from the factuality of a corpus to the personal skills of individuals; Teubert works from the usage of words representing key concepts to extended social critiques; Stubbs looks at the observed or implied philosophical bases of corpus linguistics, relating it to the famous duality of rationalism and empiricism. And Mahlberg, while supporting each of her colleagues, extends the methodology significandy in order to make statements about literary texts that will be of interest to a wider audience than corpus linguists.Introduction.
