Rezensionen

«The edited volume brings together a variety of papers from diverse corpus linguistic methodologies on various aspects of cognitive science and cognitive linguistics. As the introduction states, it is a valuable contribution and step forward in the understanding of how the use of empirical data can inform theoretical predictions about the relationship between language and cognition.»
