Description
A fascinating series of personal commentaries, from prominent scholars in the field, on two large questions: the nature of corpus linguistics and its fundamental principles; and the impact of digital corpora on how we think about language itself and its place in such concerns as social constructionism, style and academic literacy, language teaching, and translation. These varied individual declarations of continued hope, albeit tempered by experience of the complexities involved in empirical linguistic research, are a pleasure to witness.
