About the editors

José Luis Oncins Martínez is a senior lecturer in English language and literature at the University of Extremadura, Spain. His research interests include topics such as English literature, corpus linguistics, translation, stylistics and pragmatics. He has authored and co-edited several volumes on these topics.

About the book

This book shows how corpus linguistics and discourse analysis can benefit from the cooperation with a variety of other language-related disciplines, such as cognitive linguistics, appraisal theory, corpus stylistics and cultural studies. From different perspectives, each chapter will contribute to the understanding of the importance of corpus linguistics as an outstanding tool for the study of language, both alone and in combination with other academic and scientific disciplines.

This edition of the eBook can be cited. To enable this we have marked the start and end of a page.
