About this book
Reviews
“This collection is a rich treasure trove brimming with new ideas aimed at facilitating and promoting public engagement with linguistic corpora. By extending the utility of such corpora beyond academe, its wide-ranging contents will be of interest to a broad audience, including linguists, teachers, archivists and historians.” (Stephen Levey, Associate Professor, University of Ottawa, USA)
“This book is unique in reporting what data collections mean to the speech communities that have cooperated in their creation and how corpus research supports important applications, including public relations, education, forensics and speech coaching.” (John Nerbonne, Professor of Humanities Computing, University of Groningen, the Netherlands)
“At last! A volume on linguistic corpora that successfully mediates our theoretical research interests and our obligation to contribute to schools, courts, museums, workplaces and other institutions in which language lives.” (John R. Rickford, J. E. Wallace Sterling Professor of Linguistics and the Humanities, Stanford University, USA)
