Abstract
Increasingly, researchers in discourse analysis and critical discourse analysis (CDA) are relying on corpora and corpus linguistic methods in their research. This has led to the establishment of new fields of study, such as corpus-assisted discourse studies (CADS: Partington 2004; 2006) and the integration of corpus linguistic and CDA methodologies (e.g. Baker et al. 2008; Fairclough et al. 2007). There are many advantages of using corpora - large and representative samples of natural texts - and corpus linguistic methods in discourse analysis. The use of large, representative corpus samples increases the generalisability of research findings, and the use of computer-based corpus methodologies can offer increased efficiency, reliability and objectivity.
