Reviews
'This book represents an impressive collection written by internationally renowned experts in the field, which provide insights into a range of key issues of theoretical and practical relevance in using wordlists and keyword lists, the backbone of the corpus-based approach to text analysis. I also find the case studies presented in these chapters both interesting and inspiring.' Richard Xiao, Edge Hill University, UK 'An exciting collection exploring issues that are fundamental to corpus linguistics and demonstrating the wider potential of corpus methods for language studies. A stimulating book in many ways.' Michaela Mahlberg, University of Liverpool, UK 'What's in a Word-List? is an impressive and exciting collection of papers exploring issues that are fundamental to corpus linguistics. This collection of papers provides a comprehensive and up-to-date survey of the most exciting research being conducted in the subject. Researchers interested in word frequency issues will therefore find this book a most valuable addition to their academic literature collection.' The Electronic Library, Vol 27, no 6 'Each chapter is complete in itself, and together the chapters provide a fascinating insight into the sometimes quirky and arcane world of text analysis. The result is an easy to read, engaging and always interesting book.' Library Hi Tech, Vol 28, Issue 4, 2010
