Each interview consists of a set of ten questions: the first seven are common to all contributors while the last three are connected to the research experience of each guest. In the general questions, the invited scholars explore (sometimes controversial) topics such as the concept of representativeness, the role of intuition and the status of Corpus Linguistics. In the specific questions, they provide a thorough discussion of materials and methods in corpus research as well as theoretical and applied perspectives on the use of corpora in language studies. Whether experts or novices, the volume should be of interest to all those who want to learn about corpus linguistics and carry out research in this fascinating and growing area. 05 <i>Perspectives on Corpus Linguistics</i> is a timely and authoritative account of the myriad ways in which Corpus Linguistics has revolutionized scholarship. Its innovative format brings together some of the most distinguished researchers in the field and elicits interventions that balance scholarly precision with personal experience to deliver fresh and engaging insights. It is bound to become the definitive reference in the field. Professor Mona Baker, University of Manchester 05 This volume is a delight to read. It is very difficult to do justice to all of the interviewees in an overview of a limited scale because the book is packed with ideas, insights and interesting comments. The editors managed to put together interviews with some of the most respected scholars who have been working with corpora long enough to be able to offer a true insider perspective on the field. Anna Cermáková, Charles University Prague, International Journal of Corpus Linguistics 19(2): 280-291, 2014 05 It has become very difficult to think of cognitive science without corpus linguistics. This volume demonstrates this convincingly. It provides a much needed overview of the many facets of a thriving field. Because of its innovative format – interviews with leading researchers – the book is diverse yet unified, accessible yet detailed, multidisciplinary yet interdisciplinary. Any researcher studying language – linguists, psychologists, computer scientists, literary theorists alike – should read this book. Dr. Max M. Louwerse, University of Memphis 05 This distinctive book presents the fundamental arguments of Corpus Linguistics through the voices of notable practitioners. It exposes some of the roots of Corpus Linguistics and highlights key questions which remain, as yet, unanswered. This volume is not just a record of where Corpus Linguistics has been, but an indication of where the field can go in the future. It will be equally stimulating reading for those researchers starting out in the field of Corpus Linguistics, those involved in theoretical and applied linguistics who want to know more about the current ground in Corpus Linguistics, and those interested in taking up the challenges for the future of Corpus Linguistics. Dr. Aisling O’Boyle, Queen’s University Belfast 05 A fascinating series of personal commentaries, from prominent scholars in the field, on two large questions: the nature of corpus linguistics and its fundamental principles; and the impact of digital corpora on how we think about language itself and its place in such concerns as social constructionism, style and academic literacy, language teaching, and translation. These varied individual declarations of continued hope, albeit tempered by experience of the complexities involved in empirical linguistic research, are a pleasure to witness.

Differently from the other contributors, he emphasizes the role of teaching and learning as an integral part in doing corpus studies. One might consider this to be commonsensical given that two of his specific questions deal precisely with such topics (namely, learner corpora and student autonomy). Aston’s concern for learners, however, pervades his interview, as, for instance, when he highlights the role of the language classroom in the development of Corpus Linguistics, in the concept of representativeness, in the advantages and disadvantages of the corpus approach, and in encoding corpora with extra information. All in all, Aston’s statements encourage us to consider the impact of Corpus Linguistics beyond the research paradigm. His interview leads us to reflect on the potentials of corpora to our (language) classrooms and how our research may inform our own teaching practice. 10 01 JB code scl.48.02bak 17 28 12 Article 4 1 Z99 Paul Baker Baker, Paul Paul Baker 01 Reader at Lancaster University (United Kingdom), Paul Baker stresses the role corpus research plays in bringing to light social concepts which may underpin texts. The three specific questions he addresses reflect this concern and go hand in hand with his research interests: critical discourse analysis, gender issues and sociolinguistics. He reports on the potential of using corpora to carry out research in areas which have been traditionally viewed as mostly qualitative, favoring the investigation of small samples of language. In line with a social perspective, Baker prefers not to place Corpus Linguistics under a single label (be that ‘science’, ‘methodology’ or any other), assuming that it can have a different nature depending on its role in any given project. As a matter of fact, he argues in favor of a less rigid way of conceiving fields of study so that their boundaries become more fluid. Baker believes this perspective will lead the path of future corpus users. 10 01 JB code scl.48.03ber 29 46 18 Article 5 1 Z99 Tony Berber Sardinha Berber Sardinha, Tony Tony Berber Sardinha 01 Based at the Linguistics Department and at the Applied Linguistics Graduate Program (both at the Catholic University of São Paulo, Brazil), Tony Berber Sardinha brings a South American perspective to the present volume. More specifically, he draws on his teaching/research experience in Brazil to comment on the constraints corpus linguists might experience when working in such an environment as well as on the opportunities they are offered. His interview brings to the fore the corpus studies carried out in languages other than English (namely, Portuguese and Spanish) in a variety of answers, ranging from his historical overview of Corpus Linguistics to the way he conceives the future of this field. Based on his programming skills, Berber Sardinha comments on the development of recent software in which he has been (directly or indirectly) involved aimed at teaching foreign languages and at identifying metaphors. 10 01 JB code scl.48.04con 47 62 16 Article 6 1 Z99 Susan Conrad Conrad, Susan Susan Conrad 01 In the opening of her interview, Susan Conrad, Professor of Applied Linguistics at Portland State University (United States), comments on the role of Corpus Linguistics in a country where language research has differed substantially from that of the European tradition. A major concern of hers, Conrad discusses the concept of variation in terms of language, dialect, knowledge areas and speakers, to cite just some examples. When considering the notion of registers, she holds that their study can be greatly enhanced by corpora and their probing tools. Conrad, however, does not restrict herself to research considerations: she also writes about the role of Corpus Linguistics, in a more general sense, to teaching – here understood as teaching not only languages but also civil engineering, as illustrated in her interview. 10 01 JB code scl.48.05dav 63 80 18 Article 7 1 Z99 Mark Davies Davies, Mark Mark Davies 01 In this interview, Mark Davies, Professor of (Corpus) Linguistics at Brigham Young University (United States), shows his interest in languages such as English, Spanish and Portuguese. This interest is revealed in his involvement with corpora compilation (Corpus of Historical American English, <i>Corpus del Español</i>, and <i>Corpus do Português</i>, to name three instances). From his practical experience, Davies comments on the constraints one may find when trying to make a corpus available on the Internet and on what kind of technological knowledge is expected of corpus linguists. In line with the practice in this field, the author makes use of data to show us the role that intuition should play in linguistic analysis and generalizations. In terms of approach, he stresses that corpora may be used for both synchronic and diachronic purposes – the latter being discussed in more detail in one of his specific questions. 10 01 JB code scl.48.06gri 81 98 18 Article 8 1 Z99 Stefan Th. Gries Gries, Stefan Th. Stefan Th. Gries 01 Stefan Th. Gries, Professor of Linguistics at the University of California, Santa Barbara (United States), brings out a challenging notion of Corpus Linguistics. He proposes its understanding should be merged with psycholinguistic and cognitive concerns. Gries has no qualms in classifying Corpus Linguistics as a methodology. This explains his many references to methodological issues, ranging from the design of corpora to their comparison and/or analysis. In addition, Gries also discusses extensively statistical issues, including how much knowledge a corpus analyst needs to have in order to embark on such an investigation. This sharp methodological concern is also expressed in his prospects for the practice in Corpus Linguistics, which, according to him, needs to develop from a statistical standpoint. 10 01 JB code scl.48.07hyl 99 114 16 Article 9 1 Z99 Ken Hyland Hyland, Ken Ken Hyland 01 &#8233;&#8233;&#8233;&#8233;Professor of Applied Linguistics at the University of Hong Kong, Ken Hyland focuses on what is gained when writing practices are informed by Corpus Linguistics. Based on his studies, Hyland discusses the styles of specific community of writers. In fact, he addresses issues which lie at the heart of the university setting, such as academic literacy, social construction of knowledge, and interpersonal features. While most of his examples refer to academia, some other spheres of life also find a place in his interview. In a thought-provoking way, he offers a distinction between ‘consolidating’ and ‘innovative’ research when writing about the future of Corpus Linguistics, arguing that it has been seeing too much of the former. He holds that ground-breaking investigations are needed to make sure that the field will continue to evolve and draw the attention of newcomers.&#8233; 10 01 JB code scl.48.08joh 115 130 16 Article 10 1 Z99 Stig Johansson Johansson, Stig Stig Johansson 01 Professor Emeritus at the University of Oslo (Norway), Stig Johansson unfortunately passed away before this book was completed, and his interview is here published posthumously. In his contribution, the wealth of languages available in the world assumes special relevance, with mentions to languages such as Dutch, German, Norwegian and Swedish, besides English. Johansson points out that these languages (as well as any other) may be studied on their own, but this is not the only possibility available to researchers. As he explains, a lot can be gained from cross-linguistic studies (i.e. contrasting any pair of languages) – whether by means of comparable or parallel corpora. 10 01 JB code scl.48.09lav 131 154 24 Article 11 1 Z99 Sara Laviosa Laviosa, Sara Sara Laviosa 01 From an interdisciplinary stance, Sara Laviosa, Lecturer in English and Translation Studies at the University of Bari (Italy), discusses the use of corpora in translation studies, and highlights the advantages that are opened up to translation practitioners and researchers when working with Corpus Linguistics. In addressing her specific questions, she first details the benefits that the corpus approach has brought to translation studies. From an applied perspective, she then discusses the kind of information found in corpora that is absent or lacking in traditional resources most commonly used by professionals. Finally, taking into account their practical needs, Laviosa comments on the specificities of choosing suitable corpora for translation tasks and explains important terms in corpora classification. 10 01 JB code scl.48.10lee 155 170 16 Article 12 1 Z99 Geoffrey N. Leech Leech, Geoffrey N. Geoffrey N. Leech 01 Professor Emeritus of English Linguistics at Lancaster University (United Kingdom), Geoffrey Leech raises several points about Corpus Linguistics per se in a thought-provoking way. As far as the historical perspective is concerned, he indicates whom he considers the founding fathers of this field and justifies his choices. When writing about representativeness, he argues that the suffix ‘-ity’ is better suited for this term (‘representativity’) when compared to ‘-ness’. This is because the former would allow for a continuum in which corpora could be classified as more (or less) representative of a (specific use of a) language. A corpus linguist at heart, Leech sees no drawbacks in this approach, but rather credits any shortcomings to the way it is put into practice. In terms of applications, Leech discusses his research experience in approaching both pragmatics and style by means of corpora. 10 01 JB code scl.48.11lou 171 196 26 Article 13 1 Z99 Bill Louw Louw, Bill Bill Louw 01 Chair of the English Department at the University of Zimbabwe, Bill Louw contributes with an account of the philosophical aspects in Corpus Linguistics. He states that the popularity of corpora among language researchers in the recent years relates most directly to the search for truth. Louw takes no shortcuts to express his opinions. In one case, for instance, he expresses his opinion that linguists form “an unscientific community”. As regards literary research, Louw brings out the challenges corpora have posed to traditional (and long-held) notions in literature as well as the possibilities of (re)introducing the social aspect in corpus stylistics. In terms of the literature curriculum, he argues that students/teachers should not be forced to use corpora. Instead, the potential of the corpus approach should be demonstrated as a way of inviting them to follow the empirical way. 10 01 JB code scl.48.12sam 197 212 16 Article 14 1 Z99 Geoffrey Sampson Sampson, Geoffrey Geoffrey Sampson 01 In his contribution, Geoffrey Sampson, Professor Emeritus at the University of Sussex (United Kingdom) and currently Research Fellow at the University<br />of South Africa, highlights the relationship between Corpus Linguistics and Syntax. He shows how this bond has a two-way nature. In his view, the use of corpora in language research allows one to better understand syntactic issues and the development of language complexity. However, the other way is also true in Sampson’s view since he believes the focus on syntax is one of the major factors contributing to the growth of interest in Corpus Linguistics. From a more general perspective, Sampson argues in favor of linguistics remaining a creative activity which develops in unexpected ways. As for the prospects of Corpus Linguistics, he predicts its death – not of this approach itself, but of the term. He believes the label ‘corpus linguistics’ will disappear when corpora become just another resource available to linguists.&#8233; 10 01 JB code scl.48.13sco 213 220 8 Article 15 1 Z99 Mike Scott Scott, Mike Mike Scott 01 Reader in Corpus Linguistics at Aston University (United Kingdom), &#8232;Mike Scott is perhaps mostly associated with WordSmith Tools, the &#8232;computer program he has designed and has been working on since 1996 &#8232;(currently in its fifth version). The author’s technological concern is clear from the onset of his interview when he comments on the role played by the availability of personal computers in the development of Corpus Linguistics. In line with this practical concern, Scott writes about one of the major problems in compiling corpora: the issue of copyright. What lies ahead in the future, according to the researcher, is the creation of a newer generation of corpora, which will allow users to have audio and visual materials (in the first stage) together with the transcribed text. This specific technological concern, however, does not stop Scott from claiming that the questions to be asked by practicing corpus linguists should be always socially relevant in the first place.&#8233; 10 01 JB code scl.48.14swa 221 228 8 Article 16 1 Z99 John M. Swales Swales, John M. John M. Swales 01 Professor Emeritus at the University of Michigan (United States), John Swales initially warns his readers that he is not an insider when it comes to the foundations of Corpus Linguistics. Perhaps this detachment allows him to report on how he changed his understanding of the corpus approach from a science to a methodology. Although he worked with both the Michigan Corpus of Academic Spoken English (MICASE) and the Michigan Corpus of Upper-level Student Papers (MICUSP), Swales argues against the idea that the corpus approach should be the only one available to researchers. In fact, he holds that they need to be free to choose what better suits their research objectives. In his specific questions, Swales also comments on the role of corpora in the study of genres, academic literacy and pedagogy, and contrastive rhetoric. 10 01 JB code scl.48.15via 229 246 18 Article 17 1 A01 Vander Viana Viana, Vander Vander Viana 10 01 JB code scl.48.16auth 247 252 6 Miscellaneous 18 10 01 JB code scl.48.17ind 253 256 4 Index 19 02 JBENJAMINS John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 John Benjamins Publishing Company Amsterdam/Philadelphia NL 04 20111221 2011 John Benjamins 02 WORLD 13 15 9789027203533 01 JB 3 John Benjamins e-Platform 03 jbe-platform.com 09 WORLD 21 01 06 Institutional price 00 95.00 EUR R 01 05 Consumer price 00 36.00 EUR R 01 06 Institutional price 00 80.00 GBP Z 01 05 Consumer price 00 30.00 GBP Z 01 06 Institutional price inst 00 143.00 USD S 01 05 Consumer price cons 00 54.00 USD S 292007529 03 01 01 JB John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 JB code SCL 48 Hb 15 9789027203533 13 2011030023 BB 01 SCL 02 1388-0373 Studies in Corpus Linguistics 48 01 scl.48 01 https://benjamins.com 02 https://benjamins.com/catalog/scl.48 1 B01 Vander Viana Viana, Vander Vander Viana Queen's University Belfast 2 B01 Sonia Zyngier Zyngier, Sonia Sonia Zyngier Federal University of Rio de Janeiro 3 B01 Geoff Barnbrook Barnbrook, Geoff Geoff Barnbrook University of Birmingham 01 eng 272 xvi 256 LAN009000 v.2006 CF 2 24 JB Subject Scheme LIN.CORP Corpus linguistics 06 01 <i>Perspectives on Corpus Linguistics</i> is a collection of interviews with fourteen well-known researchers in the field of linguistics.

Finally, taking into account their practical needs, Laviosa comments on the specificities of choosing suitable corpora for translation tasks and explains important terms in corpora classification. 10 01 JB code scl.48.10lee 155 170 16 Article 12 1 Z99 Geoffrey N. Leech Leech, Geoffrey N. Geoffrey N. Leech 01 Professor Emeritus of English Linguistics at Lancaster University (United Kingdom), Geoffrey Leech raises several points about Corpus Linguistics per se in a thought-provoking way. As far as the historical perspective is concerned, he indicates whom he considers the founding fathers of this field and justifies his choices. When writing about representativeness, he argues that the suffix ‘-ity’ is better suited for this term (‘representativity’) when compared to ‘-ness’. This is because the former would allow for a continuum in which corpora could be classified as more (or less) representative of a (specific use of a) language. A corpus linguist at heart, Leech sees no drawbacks in this approach, but rather credits any shortcomings to the way it is put into practice. In terms of applications, Leech discusses his research experience in approaching both pragmatics and style by means of corpora. 10 01 JB code scl.48.11lou 171 196 26 Article 13 1 Z99 Bill Louw Louw, Bill Bill Louw 01 Chair of the English Department at the University of Zimbabwe, Bill Louw contributes with an account of the philosophical aspects in Corpus Linguistics. He states that the popularity of corpora among language researchers in the recent years relates most directly to the search for truth. Louw takes no shortcuts to express his opinions. In one case, for instance, he expresses his opinion that linguists form “an unscientific community”. As regards literary research, Louw brings out the challenges corpora have posed to traditional (and long-held) notions in literature as well as the possibilities of (re)introducing the social aspect in corpus stylistics. In terms of the literature curriculum, he argues that students/teachers should not be forced to use corpora. Instead, the potential of the corpus approach should be demonstrated as a way of inviting them to follow the empirical way. 10 01 JB code scl.48.12sam 197 212 16 Article 14 1 Z99 Geoffrey Sampson Sampson, Geoffrey Geoffrey Sampson 01 In his contribution, Geoffrey Sampson, Professor Emeritus at the University of Sussex (United Kingdom) and currently Research Fellow at the University<br />of South Africa, highlights the relationship between Corpus Linguistics and Syntax. He shows how this bond has a two-way nature. In his view, the use of corpora in language research allows one to better understand syntactic issues and the development of language complexity. However, the other way is also true in Sampson’s view since he believes the focus on syntax is one of the major factors contributing to the growth of interest in Corpus Linguistics. From a more general perspective, Sampson argues in favor of linguistics remaining a creative activity which develops in unexpected ways. As for the prospects of Corpus Linguistics, he predicts its death – not of this approach itself, but of the term. He believes the label ‘corpus linguistics’ will disappear when corpora become just another resource available to linguists.&#8233; 10 01 JB code scl.48.13sco 213 220 8 Article 15 1 Z99 Mike Scott Scott, Mike Mike Scott 01 Reader in Corpus Linguistics at Aston University (United Kingdom), &#8232;Mike Scott is perhaps mostly associated with WordSmith Tools, the &#8232;computer program he has designed and has been working on since 1996 &#8232;(currently in its fifth version). The author’s technological concern is clear from the onset of his interview when he comments on the role played by the availability of personal computers in the development of Corpus Linguistics. In line with this practical concern, Scott writes about one of the major problems in compiling corpora: the issue of copyright. What lies ahead in the future, according to the researcher, is the creation of a newer generation of corpora, which will allow users to have audio and visual materials (in the first stage) together with the transcribed text. This specific technological concern, however, does not stop Scott from claiming that the questions to be asked by practicing corpus linguists should be always socially relevant in the first place.&#8233; 10 01 JB code scl.48.14swa 221 228 8 Article 16 1 Z99 John M. Swales Swales, John M. John M. Swales 01 Professor Emeritus at the University of Michigan (United States), John Swales initially warns his readers that he is not an insider when it comes to the foundations of Corpus Linguistics. Perhaps this detachment allows him to report on how he changed his understanding of the corpus approach from a science to a methodology. Although he worked with both the Michigan Corpus of Academic Spoken English (MICASE) and the Michigan Corpus of Upper-level Student Papers (MICUSP), Swales argues against the idea that the corpus approach should be the only one available to researchers. In fact, he holds that they need to be free to choose what better suits their research objectives. In his specific questions, Swales also comments on the role of corpora in the study of genres, academic literacy and pedagogy, and contrastive rhetoric. 10 01 JB code scl.48.15via 229 246 18 Article 17 1 A01 Vander Viana Viana, Vander Vander Viana 10 01 JB code scl.48.16auth 247 252 6 Miscellaneous 18 10 01 JB code scl.48.17ind 253 256 4 Index 19 02 JBENJAMINS John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 John Benjamins Publishing Company Amsterdam/Philadelphia NL 04 20111221 2011 John Benjamins 02 WORLD 01 245 mm 02 164 mm 08 650 gr 01 JB 1 John Benjamins Publishing Company +31 20 6304747 +31 20 6739773 bookorder@benjamins.nl 01 https://benjamins.com 01 WORLD US CA MX 21 26 18 01 02 JB 1 00 95.00 EUR R 02 02 JB 1 00 100.70 EUR R 01 JB 10 bebc +44 1202 712 934 +44 1202 712 913 sales@bebc.co.uk 03 GB 21 18 02 02 JB 1 00 80.00 GBP Z 01 JB 2 John Benjamins North America +1 800 562-5666 +1 703 661-1501 benjamins@presswarehouse.com 01 https://benjamins.com 01 US CA MX 21 18 01 gen 02 JB 1 00 143.00 USD 606012379 03 01 01 JB John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 JB code SCL 48 Pb 15 9789027203656 13 2011030023 BC 01 SCL 02 1388-0373 Studies in Corpus Linguistics 48 01 scl.48 01 https://benjamins.com 02 https://benjamins.com/catalog/scl.48 1 B01 Vander Viana Viana, Vander Vander Viana Queen's University Belfast 2 B01 Sonia Zyngier Zyngier, Sonia Sonia Zyngier Federal University of Rio de Janeiro 3 B01 Geoff Barnbrook Barnbrook, Geoff Geoff Barnbrook University of Birmingham 01 eng 272 xvi 256 LAN009000 v.2006 CF 2 24 JB Subject Scheme LIN.CORP Corpus linguistics 06 01 <i>Perspectives on Corpus Linguistics</i> is a collection of interviews with fourteen well-known researchers in the field of linguistics. Each interview consists of a set of ten questions: the first seven are common to all contributors while the last three are connected to the research experience of each guest. In the general questions, the invited scholars explore (sometimes controversial) topics such as the concept of representativeness, the role of intuition and the status of Corpus Linguistics. In the specific questions, they provide a thorough discussion of materials and methods in corpus research as well as theoretical and applied perspectives on the use of corpora in language studies. Whether experts or novices, the volume should be of interest to all those who want to learn about corpus linguistics and carry out research in this fascinating and growing area. 05 <i>Perspectives on Corpus Linguistics</i> is a timely and authoritative account of the myriad ways in which Corpus Linguistics has revolutionized scholarship. Its innovative format brings together some of the most distinguished researchers in the field and elicits interventions that balance scholarly precision with personal experience to deliver fresh and engaging insights. It is bound to become the definitive reference in the field. Professor Mona Baker, University of Manchester 05 This volume is a delight to read. It is very difficult to do justice to all of the interviewees in an overview of a limited scale because the book is packed with ideas, insights and interesting comments. The editors managed to put together interviews with some of the most respected scholars who have been working with corpora long enough to be able to offer a true insider perspective on the field. Anna Cermáková, Charles University Prague, International Journal of Corpus Linguistics 19(2): 280-291, 2014 05 It has become very difficult to think of cognitive science without corpus linguistics. This volume demonstrates this convincingly. It provides a much needed overview of the many facets of a thriving field. Because of its innovative format – interviews with leading researchers – the book is diverse yet unified, accessible yet detailed, multidisciplinary yet interdisciplinary. Any researcher studying language – linguists, psychologists, computer scientists, literary theorists alike – should read this book. Dr. Max M. Louwerse, University of Memphis 05 This distinctive book presents the fundamental arguments of Corpus Linguistics through the voices of notable practitioners. It exposes some of the roots of Corpus Linguistics and highlights key questions which remain, as yet, unanswered. This volume is not just a record of where Corpus Linguistics has been, but an indication of where the field can go in the future. It will be equally stimulating reading for those researchers starting out in the field of Corpus Linguistics, those involved in theoretical and applied linguistics who want to know more about the current ground in Corpus Linguistics, and those interested in taking up the challenges for the future of Corpus Linguistics. Dr. Aisling O’Boyle, Queen’s University Belfast 05 A fascinating series of personal commentaries, from prominent scholars in the field, on two large questions: the nature of corpus linguistics and its fundamental principles; and the impact of digital corpora on how we think about language itself and its place in such concerns as social constructionism, style and academic literacy, language teaching, and translation. These varied individual declarations of continued hope, albeit tempered by experience of the complexities involved in empirical linguistic research, are a pleasure to witness.

Differently from the other contributors, he emphasizes the role of teaching and learning as an integral part in doing corpus studies. One might consider this to be commonsensical given that two of his specific questions deal precisely with such topics (namely, learner corpora and student autonomy). Aston’s concern for learners, however, pervades his interview, as, for instance, when he highlights the role of the language classroom in the development of Corpus Linguistics, in the concept of representativeness, in the advantages and disadvantages of the corpus approach, and in encoding corpora with extra information. All in all, Aston’s statements encourage us to consider the impact of Corpus Linguistics beyond the research paradigm. His interview leads us to reflect on the potentials of corpora to our (language) classrooms and how our research may inform our own teaching practice. 10 01 JB code scl.48.02bak 17 28 12 Article 4 1 Z99 Paul Baker Baker, Paul Paul Baker 01 Reader at Lancaster University (United Kingdom), Paul Baker stresses the role corpus research plays in bringing to light social concepts which may underpin texts. The three specific questions he addresses reflect this concern and go hand in hand with his research interests: critical discourse analysis, gender issues and sociolinguistics. He reports on the potential of using corpora to carry out research in areas which have been traditionally viewed as mostly qualitative, favoring the investigation of small samples of language. In line with a social perspective, Baker prefers not to place Corpus Linguistics under a single label (be that ‘science’, ‘methodology’ or any other), assuming that it can have a different nature depending on its role in any given project. As a matter of fact, he argues in favor of a less rigid way of conceiving fields of study so that their boundaries become more fluid. Baker believes this perspective will lead the path of future corpus users. 10 01 JB code scl.48.03ber 29 46 18 Article 5 1 Z99 Tony Berber Sardinha Berber Sardinha, Tony Tony Berber Sardinha 01 Based at the Linguistics Department and at the Applied Linguistics Graduate Program (both at the Catholic University of São Paulo, Brazil), Tony Berber Sardinha brings a South American perspective to the present volume. More specifically, he draws on his teaching/research experience in Brazil to comment on the constraints corpus linguists might experience when working in such an environment as well as on the opportunities they are offered. His interview brings to the fore the corpus studies carried out in languages other than English (namely, Portuguese and Spanish) in a variety of answers, ranging from his historical overview of Corpus Linguistics to the way he conceives the future of this field. Based on his programming skills, Berber Sardinha comments on the development of recent software in which he has been (directly or indirectly) involved aimed at teaching foreign languages and at identifying metaphors. 10 01 JB code scl.48.04con 47 62 16 Article 6 1 Z99 Susan Conrad Conrad, Susan Susan Conrad 01 In the opening of her interview, Susan Conrad, Professor of Applied Linguistics at Portland State University (United States), comments on the role of Corpus Linguistics in a country where language research has differed substantially from that of the European tradition. A major concern of hers, Conrad discusses the concept of variation in terms of language, dialect, knowledge areas and speakers, to cite just some examples. When considering the notion of registers, she holds that their study can be greatly enhanced by corpora and their probing tools. Conrad, however, does not restrict herself to research considerations: she also writes about the role of Corpus Linguistics, in a more general sense, to teaching – here understood as teaching not only languages but also civil engineering, as illustrated in her interview. 10 01 JB code scl.48.05dav 63 80 18 Article 7 1 Z99 Mark Davies Davies, Mark Mark Davies 01 In this interview, Mark Davies, Professor of (Corpus) Linguistics at Brigham Young University (United States), shows his interest in languages such as English, Spanish and Portuguese. This interest is revealed in his involvement with corpora compilation (Corpus of Historical American English, <i>Corpus del Español</i>, and <i>Corpus do Português</i>, to name three instances). From his practical experience, Davies comments on the constraints one may find when trying to make a corpus available on the Internet and on what kind of technological knowledge is expected of corpus linguists. In line with the practice in this field, the author makes use of data to show us the role that intuition should play in linguistic analysis and generalizations. In terms of approach, he stresses that corpora may be used for both synchronic and diachronic purposes – the latter being discussed in more detail in one of his specific questions. 10 01 JB code scl.48.06gri 81 98 18 Article 8 1 Z99 Stefan Th. Gries Gries, Stefan Th. Stefan Th. Gries 01 Stefan Th. Gries, Professor of Linguistics at the University of California, Santa Barbara (United States), brings out a challenging notion of Corpus Linguistics. He proposes its understanding should be merged with psycholinguistic and cognitive concerns. Gries has no qualms in classifying Corpus Linguistics as a methodology. This explains his many references to methodological issues, ranging from the design of corpora to their comparison and/or analysis. In addition, Gries also discusses extensively statistical issues, including how much knowledge a corpus analyst needs to have in order to embark on such an investigation. This sharp methodological concern is also expressed in his prospects for the practice in Corpus Linguistics, which, according to him, needs to develop from a statistical standpoint. 10 01 JB code scl.48.07hyl 99 114 16 Article 9 1 Z99 Ken Hyland Hyland, Ken Ken Hyland 01 &#8233;&#8233;&#8233;&#8233;Professor of Applied Linguistics at the University of Hong Kong, Ken Hyland focuses on what is gained when writing practices are informed by Corpus Linguistics. Based on his studies, Hyland discusses the styles of specific community of writers. In fact, he addresses issues which lie at the heart of the university setting, such as academic literacy, social construction of knowledge, and interpersonal features. While most of his examples refer to academia, some other spheres of life also find a place in his interview. In a thought-provoking way, he offers a distinction between ‘consolidating’ and ‘innovative’ research when writing about the future of Corpus Linguistics, arguing that it has been seeing too much of the former. He holds that ground-breaking investigations are needed to make sure that the field will continue to evolve and draw the attention of newcomers.&#8233; 10 01 JB code scl.48.08joh 115 130 16 Article 10 1 Z99 Stig Johansson Johansson, Stig Stig Johansson 01 Professor Emeritus at the University of Oslo (Norway), Stig Johansson unfortunately passed away before this book was completed, and his interview is here published posthumously. In his contribution, the wealth of languages available in the world assumes special relevance, with mentions to languages such as Dutch, German, Norwegian and Swedish, besides English. Johansson points out that these languages (as well as any other) may be studied on their own, but this is not the only possibility available to researchers. As he explains, a lot can be gained from cross-linguistic studies (i.e. contrasting any pair of languages) – whether by means of comparable or parallel corpora. 10 01 JB code scl.48.09lav 131 154 24 Article 11 1 Z99 Sara Laviosa Laviosa, Sara Sara Laviosa 01 From an interdisciplinary stance, Sara Laviosa, Lecturer in English and Translation Studies at the University of Bari (Italy), discusses the use of corpora in translation studies, and highlights the advantages that are opened up to translation practitioners and researchers when working with Corpus Linguistics. In addressing her specific questions, she first details the benefits that the corpus approach has brought to translation studies. From an applied perspective, she then discusses the kind of information found in corpora that is absent or lacking in traditional resources most commonly used by professionals. Finally, taking into account their practical needs, Laviosa comments on the specificities of choosing suitable corpora for translation tasks and explains important terms in corpora classification. 10 01 JB code scl.48.10lee 155 170 16 Article 12 1 Z99 Geoffrey N.
