Zusammenfassung
«In this collection of eighteen papers, the editors introduce and richly illustrate a field of study they call Cognitive Corpus Linguistics. The papers combine the insights and interests of cognitive linguists with the techniques and quantitative methods familiar to corpus linguists. Taken together, these papers constitute, in effect, a user's manual of corpus-based cognitive linguistic practice. The appearance of this volume could not be more timely, with both cognitive linguistics and corpus linguistics attracting more interest than ever.» (Professor John Newman, University of Alberta)
