Doing Corpus Linguistics is intended as a textbook to be used in introductory courses on corpus linguistics. The premise behind the book is that, as reflected in the title, corpus methodology can best be learned through the actual, hands-on use of corpora for solving real linguistic problems. In spite of its particular emphasis on the practical aspects of corpus linguistics, this book does not neglect the theoretical foundations that are the necessary pre-requisites for the successful completion of well-guided corpus-based studies.
