Modern Diachronic Corpus-Assisted Discourse Studies (MD-CADS) on UK newspapers: An overview of the project
No full textThis edition of Corpora contains one of the first ever collections of papers pertaining to the nascent discipline of Modern Diachronic Corpus-Assisted Discourse Studies (MD-CADS). This discipline is characterised by the novelty both of its methodology and the topics it is consequently in a position to treat. It employs relatively large corpora of a parallel structure and content from different moments of contemporary time (in the present case the SiBol corpora, see below) in order to track changes in modern language usage but also social, cultural and political changes over modern times, as reflected in language

Welcome to the first issue of the Journal of Corpora and Discourse
No full textThe rationale behind the launch of the online open-access Journal of Corpora and Discourse
Studies (JCaDS) is partly to meet the need for a discourse journal dedicated to research in
which corpora play a significant role and partly to create a new corpus linguistics journal
with a particular focus on discourse. Discourse is here defined as language in use as a
vehicle of communication, as language doing things, as speakers and writers attempting
to influence the beliefs and actions of their interlocutors using language.
But the rationale was also the realization that corpus-based, corpus-driven, corpusassisted
discourse analysis, corpus approaches to discourse, however we wish to name it,
definable as ‘that set of studies into the form and/or function of language as
communicative discourse which incorporate the use of corpora’ (Partington, Duguid and
Taylor, 2013, p. 10), has for some considerable time matured into a field of study in its
own right. It already has for instance, a biannual conference, and several volumes with
‘corpora’ and ‘discourse’ in their titles are on library bookshelves. As editors, then, we felt
the time had come to provide a journal home, an on-line shop-window for the produce

National Face and Facework in China’s Foreign Policy: a corpus assisted study of Chinese foreign affairs press conferences.
No full textThe Goffman (1967) and Brown and Levinson (1987) socio-pragmatic theory of face was first devised through speculating on and observing the interaction of individuals. Later research has looked at the phenomenon of group-face (e.g. Spencer-Oatey 2007). In this research we examine how face and facework theory can also be applied to communications made by state actors to the outside world, in other words, whether facework theories could also be applied to national face. To this end we compiled a corpus of all press conferences held by the Ministry of Chinese Foreign Affairs in 2016 and subjected it to quantitative and qualitative analysis, as well as comparative analysis with US White House press briefings. Chinese government statements were felt to be a promising genre partly because of the particularly intricate relations China has with its geographically close partners and neighbours and partly because of the supposed special importance accorded to face in Chinese culture (Kádár et al 2013; Chen and Hwang 2016). The techniques we employ in the analyses derive from the field of corpus-assisted discourse studies (Partington, Duguid and Taylor 2013)

The changing discourses on antisemitism in the UK press from 1993 to 2009: A modern-diachronic corpus-assisted discourse study
No full textThis paper examines the discourses relating to antisemitism in the three leading UK national “quality“ newspapers from 1993 to 2009. To this end, three corpora were compiled, each consisting of the complete set of instances in context in these papers where antisemitism is mentioned, the first from 1993 the others from 2005 and 2009. Considerable changes were noted between the discourses in the earlier corpus compared to the later ones. In the first, the majority of discourses were either historical and/or literary-artistic (typically discussing whether a particular writer or artist had been antisemitic) or, if they were related to contemporary society, they were discussions of potential or reported antisemitism outside the UK, especially in Eastern Europe. In the later corpora, however, there is much more discussion about a perceived resurgence of antisemitism in the UK and Western Europe. After an overview of these changing patterns, particularly controversial recent cases of alleged antisemitism in British politics are discussed. The methodology of this research combines corpus-analysis techniques with more traditional close textual analysis, characteristic of corpus-assisted discourse studies (CADS: Stubbs 1996, Partington 2008)
