      abstract = {"As in its first edition, the new edition of Quantitative  Corpus Linguistics with R demonstrates how to process  corpus-linguistic data with the open-source programming  language and environment R. Geared in general towards  linguists working with observational data, and particularly  corpus linguists, it introduces R programming with emphasis  on: data processing and manipulation in general; text  processing with and without regular expressions of large  bodies of textual and/or literary data, and; basic aspects  of statistical analysis and visualization. This book is  extremely hands-on and leads the reader through dozens of  small applications as well as larger case studies. Along  with an array of exercise boxes and separate answer keys,  the text features a didactic sequential approach in case  studies by way of subsections that zoom in to every  programming problem. The companion website to the book  contains all relevant R code (amounting to approximately  7,000 lines of heavily commented code), most of the data  sets as well as pointers to others, and a dedicated Google  newsgroup. This new edition is ideal for both researchers  in corpus linguistics and instructors who want to promote  hands-on approaches to data in corpus linguistics  courses"--Provided by publisher.},
