Reviews

This study constitutes a stimulating contribution to the field of variationist corpus linguistics. Particularly its way of overcoming data-scarcity by compiling a web-derived mega-corpus and its consequent attempt to integrate both quantitative and theoretical approaches to complementation and collocation into a unified functional framework make it a very inspiring study. Hence, for anybody interested in corpus linguistics, quantitative variationist linguistics, and/or the diffusion and nativization of World Englishes, this book will be of great interest. -- George Maier, Hamburg, in Anglistik 23(2): 227-229
