REVIEW: Korpusgestützte Sprachanalyse: Beißwenger, Gredel, Lemnitzer, Schneider (eds.). Tübingen, Narr Frack Attempto
Résumé
The book entitled Korpusgestützte Sprachanalyse (corpus-based language analysis) edited by Michael Beißwenger, Eva Gredel, Lothar Lemnitzer, and Roman Schneider, aims to delve into the foundations and applications of corpus-based language analysis. This book is dedicated to Professor Angelika Storrer on the occasion of her 65th birthday, and is therefore intended to reflect on her career and her main areas of research. The editors of the volume assume that the possibilities of data-supported knowledge acquisition and data-driven theory building have changed the requirements and job profile of linguists. The volume contains 25 contributions written in German (with the exception of two in English) divided into 6 parts, each devoted to a specific aspect of Corpus Linguistics.
