About

Corpus Linguistics for Multimodality Synopsis

Corpus Linguistics for Multimodality provides an authoritative introduction to analysing and applying multimodal corpus data in empirical research.Drawing on empirical findings from the Freiburg Multimodal Interaction Corpus, it explores the use of corpus linguistics as a tool for understanding how people manage their everyday conversations and interactions, not only through what they say, but also how they use their bodies in, and how their bodies are affected by, saying it.

The author presents analyses that not only take into focus multimodal resources such as word frequencies, gaze, prosody, and gesture but also investigate the effects of embodied talk-in-interaction on cognitive and emotional processes grounded and reflected in the body. Reflective questions and thought experiments further enrich each chapter.With some chapters being co-authored with experts in the field, this book makes a compelling case for corpus linguistics as a unique means for analysing multimodality.

It serves as key reading for students and researchers in applied linguistics and related fields.
