Description
The use of corpus data in languages other than English has become increasingly important in recent years, and as a result has given rise to a growing body of research and applications in multilingual corpus linguistics. This book collects together a selection of papers which have made use of multilingual corpus data in language teaching, as well as linguistic research.
The corpora described in this book include data in a variety of languages, including Swedish, Chinese, German and Italian, and the contributors include well known scholars in the fields of corpus linguistics and corpus-based language teaching.

Reviews / Votes
"Overall, this is a really interesting book for a linguist to read. All the articles are well-written and accessible at any level of knowledge about corpora ... and the problems encountered are diverse and challenging enough to engage anyone with an interest in language. This would serve nicely as a source of additional readings for courses in corpus linguistics, translation theory, or software design, as well as being a good source of good ideas and potential pitfalls for corpus and software designers themselves ... this is a really good book, worth its price and bound to be useful for a long time to come." in: Language Learning & Technology, Vol. 5, No. 3, May 2001, pp. 19-23More details
