Exploring Corpus Linguistics is a useful practical introduction to central corpus linguistics concepts and applications, packed with summaries of intriguing case studies. I recommend the book to students of Applied Linguistics who, no doubt, will appreciate its hands-on style, numerous examples, and ideas for things to explore about language in use in a range of different contexts.
