'By applying the multidimensional analysis framework to web registers, Biber and Egbert offer a long overdue full picture of language variation for what have probably become the most frequent ways modern society engages with language. This book is a valuable contribution not only to corpus linguistics and register studies but to modern linguistics as a whole.' Andrea Nini, University of Manchester 'Overall, this monograph is impressive in extracting multi-dimensions to account for the register variation on the Web. Given its persuasive elaboration and innovative insights, this monograph is an invaluable asset for researchers and students in register variation, discourse analysis, corpus linguistics and other related studies.' Danping Wu, Discourse Studies
