The book first discusses the purpose of these measures and how they have been measured. Then, the book makes three main proposals: First, that many measures of dispersion, association, and keyness are too confounded with frequency and how to 'take frequency out of them' to obtain conceptually cleaner and more interpretable measures. Second, that many existing measures can be replaced by the simple information-theoretic measure of the Kullback-Leibler divergence and that it, too, can have frequency 'removed' from it. Third, that corpus linguistics should abandon the tradition of trying to describe its findings with a single number and adopt a tupleization approach instead, where we use several separate dimensions of information for description and interpretation. The book is written in an informal, hands-on style and comes with its own R package featuring functions, example data, and several thousand lines of code exemplifying all applications. 04 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/475/scl.115.png 04 03 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_jpg/9789027214928.jpg 04 03 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_tif/9789027214928.tif 06 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_front/scl.115.hb.png 07 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/125/scl.115.png 25 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_back/scl.115.hb.png 27 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/3d_web/scl.115.hb.png 10 01 JB code scl.115.toc v viii 4 Table of contents 1 10 01 JB code scl.115.c1 1 11 11 Chapter 2 10 01 JB code scl.115.c2 12 79 68 Chapter 3 10 01 JB code scl.115.c3 80 169 90 Chapter 4 10 01 JB code scl.115.c4 170 228 59 Chapter 5 10 01 JB code scl.115.c5 229 268 40 Chapter 6 10 01 JB code scl.115.c6 269 303 35 Chapter 7 10 01 JB code scl.115.c7 304 307 4 Chapter 8 10 01 JB code scl.115.refs 308 318 11 References 9 10 01 JB code scl.115.index 319 321 3 Index 10 02 JBENJAMINS John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 John Benjamins Publishing Company Amsterdam/Philadelphia NL 04 20240704 2024 John Benjamins B.V. 02 WORLD 13 15 9789027214928 01 JB 3 John Benjamins e-Platform 03 jbe-platform.com 09 WORLD 21 01 00 115.00 EUR R 01 00 97.00 GBP Z 01 gen 00 149.00 USD S 927025887 03 01 01 JB John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 JB code SCL 115 Hb 15 9789027214928 13 2024023008 BB 01 SCL 02 1388-0373 Studies in Corpus Linguistics 115 01 scl.115 01 https://benjamins.com 02 https://benjamins.com/catalog/scl.115 1 A01 Stefan Th.
