Abstract This paper reviews the research paradigm of corpus-based discourse analysiswhich is widely used abroad
but only occasionally at home. First the different understanding of the research paradigm is generalized and then its
research approaches to meaning and its possible perspectives on discourse analysis are summarized. Finallythe
multidimensional analysisone of the techniques of corpus-based discourse analysis is elaborated on. The paper holds
that the research paradigm not only reduces human bias to a significant extent and provides a more rigorous analytical
framework for researchers but also takes researchers beyond simple lists of frequencies by showing how the presence of
lexis or other linguistic features develops across a single text or a set of texts.
