Challenging the Myth of Monolingual Corpora brings new insights into the monolingual ideal that has permeated most branches of linguistics, also corpus linguistics, for a long time. The volume brings together scholars in the many fields of English corpus linguistics from World Englishes, learner corpora and English as a Lingua Franca to the history of English. The approaches include perspectives of corpus compilation, annotation and use.

“Although clearly intended for corpus linguistic readers, the collection also provides a ‘way in’ for sociolinguists to consider using corpus methods in their own research. The book is recommended reading for all of those interested in aligning and applying corpus linguistic methods to socially oriented issues and multilingual contexts. As the editors remind us, multilingualism is all around us, even in supposedly monolingual corpora, where we least expect to find it.”
