This volume delves into Corpus-Assisted Discourse Analysis (CADS), providing a deeper understanding of the social practices that underpin discourse creation and the recurring characteristics of their associated textual elements. Divided into two sections, the volume clarifies CADS methodologies and showcases their applications, shedding light on a broad spectrum of topics such as sentiment analysis, corpus annotation, recurrent constructions at the intersection of lexicon and syntax, as well as strategies shaping the discourse of politics, media and healthcare. Its clear style, methodological depth, and practical case studies make it suitable for academics and PhD students involved in CADS.
