Abstract
In this chapter, we provide a brief characterization of what we consider the best and most common structure that empirical corpus-linguistic papers can and should have. In particular, we first introduce the four major parts of a corpus linguistics paper: “Introduction”, “Methods”, “Results”, and “Discussion”. Since the nature of corpus data and corpus techniques makes the two sections very field-specific, we then focus more particularly on the “Methods” and “Discussion” sections of a typical quantitative corpus linguistic paper. We provide recommendations that span the research cycle from data description to analyzing the dataset and reporting the results of statistical tests.
