John Sinclair's work is widely known and has had a far-reaching influence, particularly in the areas of corpus linguistics, lexis, phraseology, lexicography, grammar, and discourse analysis. This collection of papers, written by former colleagues at Birmingham University, looks at some key writings by John Sinclair, with the intention of showing why his ideas are of lasting significance. Contributions deal with the Cobuild Project (directed by Sinclair) and its innovative first dictionary; collocation and the Open Choice and Idiom Principles; the interactions between and interdependence of phraseology and grammar; semantic prosody; and the construction of meaning in text. This volume was originally published as a Special Issue of International Journal of Corpus Linguistics 12:2 (2007).

The whole poem is packed densely with symbols and elaborate ideas, and here you mighthave picked out figurative language such as bitter furies of complexity or that dolphintorn,that gong-tormented sea, or the idea of images 'begetting' other images. Thesekinds of creative, poetic, expression and idea are typical of literature, and it is literaturewith which metaphor is often associated.

This volume brings together contributors from 30 universities in 22 countries. It includes both theoretical papers which present new methods of analysis and practical studies of dialogue, much of which was recorded in work settings - a binary focus encapsulated in the title, »Working with Dialogue«. The settings from which the data was collected are diverse: the media, the courtroom, the classroom, the home and the clinic, as well as from literary texts. The book is ordered in such a way that each paper links theoretically, methodologically and/or topically with those on either side of it.
