References, Papers, Journals

Preamble: This is a select bibliography of books only, rather than an exhaustive list of all useful articles/references in the field of CBL, which is probably impossible to keep (or keep current). Recently, more and more links to publishers' pages have been disappearing, due to restructuring of websites, so at least some of these may be outdates, and I’ll try to update them whenever I find the time. However, also have a look below at the on-line bibliographies kept on other sites. The section "On-line Papers & Dissertations in CBL", lists only web-accessible journal articles/papers/squibs which have came to David’s attention while he was maintaning the site, leaving out paper-based journal articles. Please share with the community of scholars and contact me if you have a paper/squib or any resource available for downloading which you would like me to list and link to.

General Introductory Textbooks on Corpus-based Linguistics (CBL) (The most recent titles are listed first)
Weisser, Martin. (2016). Practical Corpus Linguistics: an Introduction to Corpus-Based Language Analysis. Oxford: Wiley-Blackwell.	(Shameless plug:) The first really practical introduction to Corpus Linguistics. Covers everything from collecting and cleaning up corpus data, via different types of analysis, to annotation. Don’t trust me on this statement, though, but instead read the review on the Linguist List ☺
Cheng, Winnie. (2011). Exploring corpus linguistics: Language in action. Abingdon: Routledge.	An introductory textbook. Publisher’s site is here
Hoffmann, Sebastian, Evert, Stefan, Smith, Nicholas, Lee, David & Ylva Berglund Prytz. (2008). Corpus Linguistics with BNCweb: A Practical Guide. Frankfurt am Main: Peter Lang	More than just a manual that explains how to use and exploit BNCweb, this book can be used as an introductory textbook on corpus-based linguistics. The BNCweb information page is here. Publisher’s site is here.
Adolphs, Svenja. (2006). Introducing Electronic Text Analysis: A practical guide for language and literary studies. Abingdon: Routledge.	Publisher’s blurb: " …guide to ways in which the use of computers can complement more traditional types of text & discourse analysis along with a range of sample analyses of contemporary English language... exploration of literary texts, the study of ideology in text and discourse, and the use of electronic text analysis in the English Language Teaching context.". Unfortunately, the companion site has disappeared.
Scott, Mike, & Tribble, Chris. (2006). Textual patterns: Keyword and corpus analysis in language education, Amsterdam: Benjamins.	"Shows how key word analysis, combined with the systematic study of vocabulary and genre, can form the basis for a corpus informed approach to language teaching." Publisher’s web page is here .
McEnery, Tony, Xiao, Richard & Tono, Yukio. (2006). Corpus-based language studies: An advanced resource book. Abingdon: Routledge.	"adopts a ‘how to’ approach with exercises and cases, affording students with the knowledge and tools to undertake their own corpus-based research.". Unfortunately, the companion site has disappeared.

McEnery, Tony, & Wilson, Andrew. (2001). Corpus linguistics (2nd Ed.). Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press.	First published textbook on corpus linguistics (in 1996). Has a companion site here which serves as a very basic introduction to the field. A review of the first edition may be found here.
Kennedy, Graeme D. (1998). An introduction to corpus linguistics. London: Longman.	Valuable historical survey of the rise of corpora and corpus-based research, informative review of available resources and an intelligent, critical appraisal of some key research in CBL. Particularly geared towards language teachers/ELT.
Biber, Douglas, Conrad, Susan, & Reppen, Randi. (1998). Corpus Linguistics: Investigating language structure and use. Cambridge: CUP.	A rather programmatic introduction to corpus-based linguistics and methodological primer, presenting one particular orientation (aims to be scientific and rigorous). Some bits are repetitive and some bits (on factor analysis) I take issue with, but, overall, cogently presented and lucidly persuasive. Lots of help with basic corpus-related statistics.
Lawler, John, & Aristar Dry, Helen. (Eds.). (1998). Using Computers in Linguistics: A Practical Guide. London: Routledge.	Not so much a CBL textbook as a primer on linguistic computing (i.e. for beginners starting from scratch). An informative but much neglected book, in my opinion. Has a very readable history of the Internet & computing, and surveys software & web resources for linguistics; practical, basic discussion of the nature of linguistic data and how this affects how we use computers in language study; plus an introduction to language analysis on the UNIX platform. Has a companion site (includes an on-line versions of the introduction). Lawler’s page has links to Chapter 5 (on Unix) of the book, the bibliography, the glossary, and the index.
Barnbrook, Geoff. (1996). Language and computers: A practical introduction to the computer analysis of language. Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press.	A very basic & practical introduction to using computers in language research in the humanities & linguistics, especially suited to real beginners (who are at the same time not afraid of technical details). Also usefully introduces basic programming techniques for linguists (AWK, in particular). Simply written and handily illustrated with lots of examples. * A review of this book is available here.

* In addition to the above, there are, of course, a number of volumes showcasing a wide variety of linguistic research based on corpora. Most notable are the volumes which proceed from the ICAME conferences. These volumes, unfortunately, come with variable titles and do not begin with 'Proceedings of ICAME...'. Fortunately, however, they are almost all published by the one publisher, Rodopi.

Gavioli, Laura. (2005). Exploring corpora for ESP learning. Amsterdam: John Benjamins.	Investigates the effects of corpus work on the process of foreign language learning in ESP settings; suggests that observing learners at work with corpus data can stimulate discussion and re-thinking of the pedagogical implications of both the theoretical and empirical aspects of corpus linguistics. The ideas presented here are developed from the Data-Driven Learning approach introduced by Tim Johns in the early 90s. The experience of watching students perform corpus analysis provides the basis for the two main observations in the book: a) corpus work provides students with a useful source of information about ESP language features, b) the process of "search-and-discovery" implied in the method of corpus analysis may facilitate language learning and promote autonomy in learning language use. View Table of Contents and Description here.
Nesselhauf, Nadja. (2005). Collocations in a learner corpus. Amsterdam: Benjamins.	On the basis of the German subcorpus of ICLE (the International Corpus of Learner English), advanced learners' performance in the area of verb-noun collocations (such as make a decision) are investigated. Idiosyncratic collocation use by learners is uncovered, the building material of learner collocations examined, and the factors that contribute to the difficulty of certain groups of collocations identified. An extensive discussion of the implications of the results for the foreign language classroom is also presented, and the contentious issue of the relation of corpus linguistic research and language teaching is thus extended to learner corpus analysis.

"illustrates a new way of describing the grammar of spoken and written English...demonstrates how lexical phrases, frames and patterns provide a link between grammar and vocabulary...discusses how the different aspects of the language require different learning processes and different teaching techniques. These processes and techniques are contextualised within a task-based approach to teaching and learning. Numerous interactive tasks are provided to guide readers and over forty examples of teaching exercises are included to illustrate techniques which can be applied in the classroom immediately."

Some EAGLES (Expert Advisory Group on Language Engineering Standards) Papers relevant to CBL
Preliminary recommendations on corpus typology	aims to offer a sound and resonably replicable way of classifying corpora, with clearly delimited categories wherever possible, and informed suggestions elsewhere. The paper has been reviewed by many experts in the field, who are in broad agreement that to present a more rigorous classification would be intellectually unsound and would be ignored by the majority of workers in the field. The present paper has a chance of acceptance because it raises the relevant issues and offers usable classifications.
Preliminary recommendations on text typology	some views on external and internal criteria for the classification of texts in corpora
Recommendations on corpus encoding	on the Corpus Encoding Standard (CES), which specifies a minimal encoding level that corpora must achieve to be considered standardized in terms of descriptive representation (marking of structural and typographic information) as well as general architecture (so as to be maximally suited for use in a text database). It also provides encoding specifications for linguistic annotation, together with a data architecture for linguistic corpora.
Browse the Table of Contents at the EAGLES site	a whole lot of other guidelines on annotation, speech corpora, linguistic software and lexicons
