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.
