- Title
Review of Durrant (2023): Corpus linguistics for writing development.
- Authors
Lim, Joyce
- Abstract
"Durrant (2023): Corpus linguistics for writing development" is a book review published in the International Journal of Corpus Linguistics. The review highlights how corpus linguistics has contributed to our understanding of second language (L2) writing development. The book provides a practical introduction to using corpus linguistics in first and second language writing development, covering topics such as vocabulary, grammar, and formulaic language. While the book is informative and provides a solid introduction to corpus linguistics, it has some limitations, such as its focus on vocabulary, grammar, and formulaic language, and the lack of discussion on challenges in learner language research and L2 writing development. Overall, the book is recommended for students, educators, and researchers interested in corpus linguistics and writing development.
