Dear list members, I'm delighted to announce that a new publication in the Cambridge Elements in Corpus Linguistics is now available. It is FREE online until 27th February 2025. Title: Lexical Multidimensional Analysis Authors: Tony Berber Sardinha and Shannon Fitzsimmons-Doolan
Lexical Multidimensional Analysis is an extension of Biber's Multidimensional Analysis that identifies dimensions based on patterns of lexical co-occurrence and variation. LMDA has been applied to domains including education policy, national representations, applied linguistics, music, the infodemic, religion, sustainability, and literary style. The Element introduces LMDA, offering insights into how lexis marks discourse formations and ideological alignments. Two case studies demonstrate the application of LMDA: discourses on climate change, and discourse on migrant education.
