Reviews

'I anticipate this book will become an instant classic, often cited: for its remarkably comprehensive and innovative categorizations and definitions of the phenomenon, and for its presentation of a strong piece of research which employs clever methods and takes us a large step forward in knowledge. The literature review on formulaic language is a definite useful tool for anyone seeking to gain deep understanding of the phenomenon.' David Wood, Carleton University, Ottawa

David Wood, Carleton University, Ottawa 'A rigorous, well-written and well-focused book clearly demonstrating how changes in formulaic language are linked to changes in the cultural context. Its new proposed methodology for the automatic extraction of formulaic expressions from a large body of data, as well as the wealth of useful references provided, will be immensely valuable to researchers and specialists, as well as students.' Maria Fernandez-Parra, Swansea University
