The Bologna group of corpus linguists has a particular interest in Corpus-assisted Discourse Studies (CADS) in which such statistical analyses are married to the more traditional kind of analyses employed in discourse studies; there is typically a "shunting" (Halliday) between statistical analyses and close textual reading. The aim of the CADS approach is the uncovering, in the discourse type under study, of what we might call non-obvious meaning, that is, meaning which might not be readily available to naked-eye perusal.
