Quantitative Corpus Linguistics with R

“Today’s linguists are increasingly called upon to master technical and statistical domains for which they do not usually receive primary training in their graduate programs. This clear and highly approachable introduction is an invaluable guide both for seasoned linguists moving in a more quantitative, corpus-based direction as well as for a new generation of graduate students just beginning work in this field. Gries’ book strikes a useful balance between the theoretical and the technical aspects of corpus linguistics, while making the case for why linguists should devote more attention to corpora and statistical methods in their own research and why R is the ideal tool for the job.”
