Corpus Linguistics Beyond the Word-Corpus Research from Phrase to Discourse.Eileen Fitzpatrick (ed.)

Corpus Linguistics 25 Years on, however may be a bit misleading, as only Part I really provides the historical account many readers might be looking for. Parts II and III really more offer a snapshot of the current state-of-the-art, not unlike conference proceedings. However, editor Roberta Facchinetti has skilfully managed to maintain a well-rounded topical spread over the contributions. In doing so, the book provides an interesting showcase of the added scientific value corpus-based methods bring to the field of linguistics.
