Modeling Metalinguistic Discourses and Language Ideologies (inbunden, eng)

This volume offers a comprehensive treatment of corpus linguistics approaches to the study of metalinguistic discourses and language ideologies.

The book traces the historical trajectories of research on language ideology and metalinguistic discourse, respectively, as a foundation for exploring both the opportunities and challenges of classic corpus linguistic approaches as applied to data sets from comparative South Slavic and English case studies.

This analysis paves the way for exploring methodological innovations afforded by multivariate approaches, such as factor analysis, cluster analysis, and topic modelling by applying it to the same data sets. The book concludes by reflecting on challenges and lessons learned toward outlining future directions for the further development of research at the intersection of metalinguistic discourses and language ideologies.

This book will be of interest to students and scholars in corpus linguistics, discourse analysis, sociolinguistics, and applied linguistics.
