Böcker av Sandrine Zufferey

"Illustrated with examples from a rich range of languages and genres, this book provides a cutting-edge yet accessible introduction to the meanings and functions of connectives, and the discourse relations they communicate.

Over the past decades, the use of quantitative methods has become almost generalized in all domains of linguistics. However, using these methods requires a thorough understanding of the principles underlying them. Introduction to quantitative methods in linguistics aims at providing students with an up-to-date and accessible guide to both corpus linguistics and experimental linguistics. The objectives are to help students developing critical thinking about the way these methods are used in the literature and helping them to devise their own research projects using quantitative data analysis.
