Lexicology And Corpus Linguistics (open Linguistics)

Lexicology and Corpus Linguistics Open Linguistics Series Series Editor Robin Fawcett, University of Wales, Cardiff This series is 'open' in two senses. First, it provides a forum for works associated with any school of linguistics or with none. Most practising linguists have long since outgrown the unhealthy assumption that theorising about language should be left to those working in the generativist-formalist paradigm. Today large and increasing numbers of scholars are seeking to understand the nature of language by exploring one or other of various cognitive models of language, or in terms of the communicative use of language, or both. This series is playing a valuable part in re-establishing the traditional 'openness' of the study of language. The series includes many studies that are in, or on the borders of, various functional theories of language, and especially (because it has been the most widely used of these) Systemic Functional Linguistics. The general trend of the series has been towards a functional view of language, but this simply reflects the works that have been offered to date. The series continues to be open to all approaches, including works in the generativist-formalist tradition. The second way in which the series is 'open' is that it encourages studies that open out 'core' linguistics in various ways: to encompass discourse and the description of natural texts; to explore the relationships between linguistics and its neighbouring disciplines - psychology, sociology, philosophy, cultural and literary studies - and to apply it in fields such as education, language pathology and law.
