TEXT MINING FOR HISTORIANS COURSE
UNIT 4: ANTCONC: BASIC CORPUS ANALYSIS Pt 2
Lecture (33 Mins)










KEY READINGS

* Laurence Anthony, Basics with Antocnc
* Svenja Adolphs, Introducing Electronic Text Analysis: A Practical Guide for Language and Literary Studies (Trowbridge, 2006). An excellent and concise book, still excellent after 15 years- and a recommend starting point.
*John Sinclair, Corpus Concordance and Collocation (Oxford, 1991). This is a classic pioneering text, but still referenced a great deal! The two textbooks below are modern evolutions of Sinclair.
*Tony McEnery and Andrew Hardie, Corpus Linguistics: Method, Theory and Practice (Cambridge, 2011)
*Magali Paquot and Stefan Th. Gries, A Practical Handbook of Corpus Linguistics (Springer, 2020)
