'An outstanding book, containing a range of original research ideas and insights that push cogently and systematically at the boundaries of the subject' Professor Ronald Carter, School of English Studies, University of Nottingham, UK

"This is valuable reading for anyone planning to design a research study based on corpus methodology; it is very detailed, with concrete examples of types of research that can be done through corpus methodology and concerns researchers typically encounter. The editor does a good job including different perspectives and a variety of methodology; it is comprehensive. In some chapters, such as the Stubbs' chapter on the word ''world,'' the reader is walked through designing a small study using corpora. Most chapters include both an introduction and conclusion, making the main ideas of that chapter more accessible...For...specialists...this is a useful book." - Stacia Levy, Ed.D., Linguist List, November 12, 2008
