Language is ubiquitous. As never before, it is now commonly understood how crucial language is for human interaction, for negotiating and shaping our material and ideational reality. In the digital age, the speed, scale and diversity of forms of communication and language use have grown rapidly. The increasing amount of language data that influences attitudes, decision-making and relationships highlights how the methodology of corpus linguistics together with the explanatory power of discourse analysis are indispensable for deciphering the world around us. Situated at the interface of corpus linguistics and discourse studies, the Corpus and Discourse series publishes innovative research where humanities and social sciences come together to understand the relationship between discourse and society in an increasingly digital world.
