Nine papers from a May 2015 conference in Trier, Germany represent the breadth of current research on both paradigmatic and syntagmatic dimensions of corpus linguistics. Linguists and scholars of particular languages discuss such topics as modeling lexical structures in the Oxford English Dictionary, synonym selection as a strategy of stress clash avoidance, the pragmatics of well as a discourse marker in broadcast discussions, the lexicogrammar of be interested: description and pedagogy, and tracking second-language writers' phraseological development using collgrams: evidence from a longitudinal English-as-a-foreign-language corpus.

This collection of research articles provides state-of-the-art research in corpus linguistics on lexis and lexico-grammar, focussing on major corpus resources (both corpora and software tools), their theoretical implications and the pedagogical applications of corpus findings.
Recenzijas
In conclusion, corpus linguists can look forward to reading this fine selection of a top quality papers first presented at the 36th ICAME conference in Trier. Indeed, the volume provides more than the results of a few fascinating individual case studies using a range of corpus resources and state-of-the-art tools: it also explores methodological issues and proposes new procedures and measures. Moreover, Corpora and Lexis also contributes to the refinement and development of (new) theoretical concepts and features novel applications of corpus-based findings in lexicographic and pedagogical applications. ~ Elen Le Foll, Universität Osnabrück, on LINGUIST List (July 2019)
