New publication: Lexical Multidimensional Analysis by Tony Berber Sardinha and Shannon Fitzsimmons-Doolan, available free online until 27th February 2025.
We are pleased to announce the availability of a new publication in the Cambridge Elements in Corpus Linguistics.
Title: Lexical Multidimensional Analysis, by Tony Berber Sardinha and Shannon Fitzsimmons-Doolan.
Lexical Multidimensional Analysis (LMDA) is an extension of Biber’s Multidimensional Analysis, identifying dimensions based on patterns of lexical co-occurrence and variation.
LMDA has been applied to various 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.
