Reviews

'This volume is fascinating in itself in presenting a range of different types of corpus research. It is especially important for scholars German, both in the research findings that are reported and the development of reusable resources for other scholars. It points the way for researchers in other languages to gather material for similar volumes.' John Sinclair, from the Foreword. * Blurb from reviewer *
