There are many different descriptive and theoretical frameworks that
are used in corpus linguistics . We have selected one particular framework
to guide the students in their interpretation of their corpus findings .
Register analysis has strongly influenced our work and we believe that
this approach to understanding language use is broad enough to encompass
the various types of projects that students choose to do . In Chapter
2 , we outline the basics of a register analysis and then ask students
to refer to this same framework when building their corpus and doing
their corpus study . We recognize the relevance of other descriptive and
theoretical agendas but feel that focusing on a single approach provides
students with more extended experience interpreting their corpus results
and motivating the significance of their findings . Without knowledge and
practice using a specific framework , we have found that students can be
quite enamored with the " button-pushing " aspects of corpus linguistics
at the expense of interpreting the results of their searches .
