Researchers can use this book to find exemplary studies with great reporting practices. Especially appreciating readers would be practitioners who have been longing for empirical evidence as to whether their instinct about learner language can be empirically studied, and if so what they could do with those inter-language patterns. * Linguist List *Contains much innovative research and makes a substantial contribution to the field, especially with regard to methodology. * Journal of English for Academic Purposes *The volume under review presents interesting findings on well-known learner corpora but also showcases exciting new data sets and methods as well as critical discussions on important methodological issues ... the volume will no doubt be of interest to any researcher in the field of learner language and a must-read for anyone involved in LCR. * International Journal of Learner Corpus Research * Promotional Showcases cutting-edge studies in the field of learner corpus research from across the globe which have important applications for pedagogy and testing and assessment of second language proficiency.
