Journal of Corpora & Discourse Studies

The Journal of Corpora and Discourse Studies showcases research into language as a vehicle of communication which incorporates the use of corpus techniques. The Journal is highly interdisciplinary in nature, first, in combining discourse analysis with corpus linguistics and, second, in accommodating an ever-increasing number of other disciplines which employ the analysis of spoken or written texts beyond linguistics proper which use corpus techniques to help analyse the texts they employ, including political science, sociology, history, literary criticism, business studies, healthcare, and many more. We particularly welcome papers which address methodological issues concerning the use of corpora in these and other fields. The journal is on-line open-access with the opportunity to store research data on the publisher’s server. The language of publication is English, but we welcome submissions on all other languages. Published by Cardiff University Press. Editor in chief, Alan Partington. Editors, Costas Gabrielatos and Amanda Potts. Reviews editor, Sylivia Jaworska. Technical editor, Jane Johnson. The first issue is planned for July 2018
