”This book is an excellent resource for anyone interested in how corpus-based research can contribute to the study of higher-level linguistic phenomena. The breadth of the collected papers is impressive, both in terms of their linguistic objects of study, which vary from high-level categories, such as exhortations, to specific constructions and words, as well as in the range of methodological approaches that are adopted by the authors of the studies. … a remarkable volume, presenting studies that should appeal to newcomers to corpus-based research in pragmatics and discourse as well as those who have already conducted this kind of research and want to stay informed of current approaches.” in: The Linguist List 21.2695
