Corpus linguistics provides the methodology to extract meaning from texts. Taking as its
starting point the fact that language is not a mirror of reality but lets us share what we know,
believe and think about reality, it focuses on language as a social phenomenon, and makes
visible the attitudes and beliefs expressed by the members of a munity.
Consisting of both spoken and written language, discourse always has historical, social, func-
tional and regional dimensions. Discourse can be monolingual or multilingual, intercon-
nected by translations. Discourse is where language and social studies meet.
The Corpus and Discourse series consists of two strands. The first, Research in Corpus and Discourse,
features innovative contributions to various aspects of corpus linguistics and a wide range of
applications, from language technology via the teaching of a second language to a history of
mentalities. The second strand, Studies in Corpus and Discourse, prised of key texts bridg-
ing the gap between social studies and linguistics. Although equally academically rigorous, this
strand will be aimed at a wider audience of academics and postgraduate students working in
both disciplines.
