The book "Introduction to Corpus Linguistics" examines the field's historical evolution and highlights its important influence on language research. It covers corpus compilation, annotation, and analysis with an emphasis on practical techniques, giving students first-hand exposure with widely used tools and software. Thematic chapters, which are backed up by case studies and real-world examples, cover a variety of linguistic topics, such as syntax, semantics, sociolinguistics, and discourse analysis. Engaging and practical learning is achieved through interactive exercises that motivate readers to apply their knowledge. The book also looks at the multidisciplinary uses of corpus linguistics in lexicography, computational linguistics, and language instruction. Through its integration of theory and practice, "Introduction to Corpus Linguistics" gives readers the tools necessary to conduct their own corpus-based research, therefore deepening their comprehension of language dynamics and use.
