"Many of the papers will be of interest to language and linguistics instructors designing student-centered, corpus-based linguistic investigation, as the authors share their best practices, cautions, successes, and failures in working with corpora. Other papers discuss issues at the heart of corpus design and will appeal to a perhaps even broader audience in corpus linguistics. The papers are both retrospective and forward-looking, as this community of scholars shares their experiences in order to further the development and exploitation of language corpora in teaching, learning, and research… The volume as a whole highlights exciting developments in approaches to teaching and learning with corpora and in the development of resources and methodologies relevant to research as well as teaching. It stresses the importance of discovery learning - both in the classroom and in research. …The papers in this volume highlight the value of studying spoken and written language in use, captured in modern corpora, in terms of learning language, translating it, and studying it for linguistic description." - in: ICAME Journal, No. 28"[The book is] likely to find a wide audience among both academics and teachers" - in: Anglistik, Vol. 15.1 (March 2004)"In spite of an impressive variety of topics discussed and approaches deployed, the editors’ choice exhibits a real mastery in maintaining a strong theoretical and methodological coherence of the volume. It is no doubt one of the main reasons why it will attract the attention of a wide audience, comprising both academics and professionals in the fields of corpus and computational linguistics, language pedagogy, theory and practice of translation, stylistics (genre analysis in particular), lexicography, information retrieval, etc. […] The originality of ideas expressed and their practical application illustrated and discussed represent a genuine contribution to the subject fields mentioned, advancing our understanding of their key issues and pointing at the possible directions to be taken in research and its implementation." - in: The Linguist List, Wed.
