Lexical Priming in Spoken English Usage

"This book provides important evidence in support of the theory of lexical priming, as well as its validity for spoken language. ... the book offers useful empirical tools for work at the meeting point for corpus-based and psycholinguistic research." (Peter Thwaites, BAAL, Vol. 107-108, January, 2016)

'This book is clearly structured and well placed to achieve its goal of testing the appli- cation of lexical priming theory in spoken English usage, and it offers interesting and detailed insights for the topics of collocation, pattern and semantic association. It makes contributions to discourse analysis, sociolinguistics, pragmatics, psycholinguistics and corpus linguistics, and can be recommended to faculty and students who are interested in lexical features in a collocational environment.' - Discourse Studies
