Isi artikel

Widdowson (2000) criticizes two approaches to language description-corpus linguistics and critical discourse analysis-which both concentrate on 'real' (i.e. attested) language. His main criticism focuses on work which combines these two approaches by attempting to use corpus data in order to remedy deficits in critical discourse analysis. He raises important points about text interpretation, and therefore about the relation between corpus linguistics and social theory. However, his argument is flawed by its misrepresentation of the data, methods and central concepts of corpus linguistics. In particular, he ignores the logic involved in comparative analyses of variable and quantitative corpus data.
