at a slightly different audience, but in combination they deliver all the essential information one would need to fully understand and utilize the history, current state, and broad applications of corpus linguistics. Kennedy's An Introduction to Corpus Linguistics provides a thorough history of the development of corpus linguistics, beginning with investigations that used corpus methods before computers were readily available. The book is divided into chapters that outline the design and development of corpora over time (chapter 2), descriptions of English that have resulted from corpus methods (chapter 3), examples of the types of analyses that have been conducted (chapter 4), and the implications of those analyses (chapter 5).
