      abstract = {This book aims to provide a micro-level, working model of  a methodological approach and practical guidelines for  building a corpus, informed by the work on the CorCenCC  project (Corpws Cenedlaethol Cymraeg Cyfoes - the National  Corpus of Contemporary Welsh). It focuses specifically on  the development of detailed design frames for corpora  across communicative modes (spoken, written and  e-language), and the practical processes involved in the  planning, collection, transcription, collation and  (re)presentation of language data. The book is designed to  be of significant value and relevance to those interested  in critically engaging with corpus methodology. Although  Welsh is the language under discussion, the processes and  approaches discussed in the building of CorCenCC can be  applied to a lesser or greater extent to other language  contexts. This book provides a working model, and an  account of how to build a corpus dataset from which step by  step guidelines for creating other linguistic corpora in  any language can be easily extrapolated. It will be of  value to students and scholars of minority languages and  corpus linguistics.
