Biografisk notat
Dan McIntyre is Professor of English Language and Linguistics at the University of Huddersfield. Brian Walker is a Research Fellow at the University of Huddersfield.
This volume is a must-read for beginners in corpus stylistics. It combines theoretical and methodological discussion with very practical advice. The step-by-step instructions, with screenshots, are very helpful, and the many case studies do prove that corpus stylistics is both possible and useful. Just as in linguistics, a corpus-based approach does not mean that qualitative analyses are rejected; rather, as the authors are committed to showing, corpora provide tools for new insights.
- Laure Gardelle, Université Grenoble Alpes, Cercles
Corpus Stylistics effectively shows how corpus linguistics and stylistics can be combined, and it offers a multitude of benefits for readers from either field who have at least some interest in the other.
- Jordan Smith, University of North Texas, Corpora
In conclusion, Corpus Stylistics is much recommended for those interested in this emerging discipline. It offers a practical introduction for the novice, as well as an up-to-date overview of the field – with some interesting theoretical considerations – for the more advanced reader. With its wide-ranging scope and comprehensive approach, this book fills a gap in the literature, providing the growing number of researchers interested in this approach with an excellent point of departure for exploring this exciting field of research.
- Lorenzo Mastropierro, University of Nottingham, Language and Literature
This book takes us on a journey of enlightenment. We follow our skilful guides as they pick a well-paced course through the landscapes of stylistics and corpus linguistics, providing depth and breadth in their commentary. Potentially arid lands (e.g. statistics) are crossed via a reassuringly clear path. A must-read for anybody with but a shred of interest in corpus stylistics.
