Reviews

This volume is an invaluable resource to a wide range of readers, including applied linguists and teachers, who are interested in the learner language and corpus-based research. Researchers can use this book to find exemplary studies with great reporting practices. Especially appreciating readers would be practitioners who have been longing for empirical evidence as to whether their instinct about learner language can be empirically studied, and if so what they could do with those inter-language patterns. * Linguist List *

Overall, the richness of the study designs and the L2 teaching implications drawn from robust findings clearly make Learning Corpus Research: New Perspectives and Applications a great candidate for reading in graduate programs. * International Journal of Corpus Linguistics * This volume is an invaluable resource to a wide range of readers, including applied linguists and teachers, who are interested in the learner language and corpus-based research.
