A text which surveys the growing field of research known as corpus annotation - an electronic collection of texts. Corpus annotation is a central resource in linguistics, information technology and the processing of human language and the most effective means of analyzing it.

Corpus Annotation gives an up-to-date picture of this fascinating new area of research, and will provide essential reading for newcomers to the field as well as those already involved in corpus annotation. Early chapters introduce the different levels and techniques of corpus annotation. Later chapters deal with software developments, applications, and the development of standards for the evaluation of corpus annotation. While the book takes detailed account of research world-wide, its focus is particularly on the work of the UCREL (University Centre for Computer Corpus Research on Language) team at Lancaster University, which has been at the forefront of developments in the field of corpus annotation since its beginnings in the 1970s.

R.G. Garside, Geoffrey Leech, Anthony Mark Mcenery
