Reviews

“Two worthy aspects of this book are its methodological strength and its theoretical contributions. ... the book will serve as an important stepping stone for the further fusion of corpus linguistics and sociology. It would be methodologically and theoretically useful for the researchers in various disciplines, such as sociology, media studies, corpus linguistics, discourse analysis and sociolinguistics.” (Fan Pan and Rulan Hu, Discourse & Society, Vol. 32 (2), 2020)
