Abstract
This chapter explores ways in which small corpora can be used to study language variation across genres within a given discourse area. Focusing on academic genres and on the field of economics, the chapter shows how corpus work can be used to study different features, ranging from a variety of functional units to specific lexico-grammatical patterns. Activities to be used with students are illustrated and exemplified.
