THE ESSENCE OF MULTIDIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS
Keywords:
Multidimensional, Analysis, corpora, registerAbstract
This article presents a study focused on the study of Multidimensional (MD) Analysis developed by Douglas Biber in 1988 to study the variability of linguistic features in English language registers (Biber, 1988). Multidimensional (MD) analysis affects an in-depths linguistic description of second language (L2) writing texts. However, linguistic studies based on MD analysis are still insufficient and it is crucial to enlarge them. To be more specific, the lack of comparable corpora does not allow current MD-based L2 writing studies to make reliable comparisons of linguistic differences between native-speaking authors and L2 learners
