Multifactorial Analysis In Corpus Linguistics (open Linguistics Series)

Multifactorial Analysis in Corpus Linguistics Open Linguistics Series Series Editor Robin Fawcett, University of Cardiff This series is 'open' in two related ways. First, it is not confined to works associated with any one school of linguistics. For almost two decades the scries has played a significant role in establishing and maintaining the present climate of'openness' in linguistics, and we intend to maintain this tradition. However, we particularly welcome works which explore the nature and use of language through modelling its potential for use in social contexts, or through a cognitive model of language - or indeed a combination of the two. The series is also 'open' in the sense that it welcomes works that open out 'core' linguistics in various ways: to give a central place to the description of natural texts and the use of corpora; to encompass discourse 'above the sentence'; to relate language to other scmiotic systems; to apply linguistics in fields such as education, language pathology and law; and to explore the areas that lie between linguistics and its neighbouring disciplines such as semiotics, psychology; sociology', philosophy, and cultural and literary studies. Continuum also also publishes a series that offers a forum for primarily functional descriptions of languages or parts of languages - Functional Descriptions of Language. Relations between linguistics and computing are covered in the Communication in Artificial Intelligence series. Two series, Advances in Applied Linguistics and Communication in Public Life, publish books in applied linguistics and the series Modern Pragmatics in Theory and Practice publishes both social and cognitive perspectives on the making of meaning in language use. We also publish a range of introductory textbooks on topics in linguistics, semiotics and deaf studies. Recent titles in the series Culturally Speaking.
