| Sumario: | The article discusses the emergence and development of Corpus-assisted Discourse Studies (CADS), which integrates corpus linguistics and discourse studies to analyze language use and its connection to society. The authors, Matthew Gillings, Gerlinde Mautner, and Paul Baker, provide a comprehensive guide to CADS, emphasizing the synergy between quantitative and qualitative methods in examining textual data. The volume is structured into four parts, covering theoretical, methodological, practical, and reflective aspects of CADS, offering insights into the interplay of discourse and linguistic patterns. Despite its valuable insights, the article acknowledges the need for further integration of CADS with existing methodological frameworks and a more in-depth discussion on the application of computer-assistance software in CADS research.
