Corpus Linguistics for Writing Development provides a practical introduction to using corpora in the study of first and second language learners' written language over time and across different levels of proficiency. Focusing on development in the use of vocabulary, formulaic language, and grammar, this book

  • discusses how corpus research can contribute to our understanding of writing development and to pedagogical practice;

  • reviews a range of corpus techniques for studying writing development from the perspectives of vocabulary, grammar, and formulaic language and interrogates the methodological bases of those techniques; and

  • guides readers to perform practical analyses of learner writing using the R open-source programming language.

    Aimed at the novice researcher, this book will be key reading for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students in the fields of education, language, and linguistics. It will be of particular interest to those interested in first or second language writing, language assessment, and learner corpus research.
