in this edited volume represent a broad coverage of areas. They
discuss the role and effectiveness of corpora and corpus-
linguistic techniques for language teaching but also deal with
broader issues such as the relationship between corpora and
second language teaching and how the different perspectives of
foreign language teachers and applied linguists can be

shown that even advanced learners of English are uncertain about
stylistic and text type difference
