Reviews

Although clearly intended for corpus linguistic readers, the collection also provides a 'way in' for sociolinguists to consider using corpus methods in their own research. The book is recommended reading for all of those interested in aligning and applying corpus linguistic methods to socially oriented issues and multilingual contexts. As the editors remind us, multilingualism is all around us, even in supposedly monolingual corpora, where we least expect to find it. -Rachelle Vessey, Birkbeck, University of London, in Applied Linguistics 2019: 40/5: 864-869
