Lexicology and Corpus Linguistics
Perspectives in Lexicology and Corpus Linguistics offers an introduction to words and corpus linguistics. From this foundation it explores the much wider issues that are inevitably raised but somehow marginalized in lexicology (the study of words) and corpus how are individual words integrated into language? What are the real benefits of studying the large quantities of text now available in corpora? How do we best conceptualize meaning itself?

I know that this kind of work is not susceptible to receive reviews, yet here's my contribution. This book offers considerable food for thought on the topic of how we understand and process meaning. Corpus linguistics is a useful tool which allows us to discover how diverse speech communities address meaning across time. While cursory, this was a perfect beginning to study lexicology and corpus linguistics.
