In
this book, Stefan Th. Gries provides an overview on how quantitative corpus
methods can provide insights to cognitive/usage-based linguistics and selected
psycholinguistic questions. Topics include the corpus linguistics in general,
its most important methodological tools, its statistical nature, and the
relation of all these topics to past and current usage-based theorizing.
Central notions discussed in detail include frequency, dispersion, context, and
others in a variety of applications and case studies; four practice sessions
offer short introductions of how to compute various corpus statistics with the
open source programming language and environment R.
