Readers of this journal (Literary and Linguistic Computing) will appreciate Tognini-Bonelli's examination of both the corpus-based and corpus-driven approaches to the practice of corpus linguistics, her excellent demonstration of how concordances can be further expected in terms of a full commitment to the data, and her exposition of a theory of meaning that is believed to be very much correlated with textual form. The various theoretical assumptions that the volume details pretty much cover the current practice of corpus linguistics and should be borne in mind whenever the computer is used in the analysis of corpus data. Corpus Linguistics at Work is therefore a timely and valuable contribution to the discipline of corpus linguistics. -- Vincent B.Y. Ooi, National University of Singapore in Literary and Linguistic Computing Vol. 17:2, 2002
