Using fresh data from the British National Corpus, this book criticizes and expands Biber's seminal study (1988) of variation in spoken and written English. The author assesses the validity, stability and meaningfulness of Biber's results, critically re-evaluating the statistical methodology. In the process, many issues of importance in corpus-based research are touched upon, including: research design, corpus construction, representativeness, search algorithms, operationalization of linguistics concepts, and interpretation of statistical results.
