This book introduces corpus linguistics with hands-on activities using popular corpus analysis software. The book covers a range of topics in corpus linguistics and how they have been applied in different research areas. It introduces common corpus tools used in research, investigating issues such as lexis, grammar, metaphor, discourse, and register or sociolinguistic variations. It also discusses how corpus linguistics has been applied in the study of academic English and business English. Almost every chapter is accompanied by a video on YouTube to show how to use corpus analysis software, followed by practical workshops that provide opportunities to apply knowledge from the relevant discussion.

Given the significant contributions of corpus linguistics to language description and applied linguistics in general, this book is a useful guide to this exciting and valuable field of study.
