  • Summary

    The chapter provides an overview of the developments in synchronic and diachronic corpus-linguistic research into World Englishes (WEs), detailing methodological concerns such as sampling frames, representativeness, corpus size, and statistical modeling on the one hand and the broadening scope of corpus-based research from ENL to ESL and EFL varieties on the other hand. It also surveys areas in which corpus evidence has been applied in the study of WEs (e.g. as a testing bed for models of WEs, for the study of language contact, typology, and change or as a source of evidence for sociolinguistic and pragmatic variation), providing ample illustration from seminal research papers and recent studies in the field.
