Reviews

”[This book is] demonstrating a maturity in corpus linguistics which is welcome to note … this is a well-chosen collection of papers, demonstrating the potential of corpus linguistics for contributing towards phrasal and discourse analysis. It is hoped that Corpus Linguistics beyond the Word will inspire more corpus-based researchers to think beyond the lexicon.” in: ICAME Journal 32, April 2008
