Reviews

This volume expertly bridges oral history and linguistics, highlighting methods and theoretical perspectives. It finds synergies between practitioners and linguistics, making it essential for anyone interested in how linguistics can inform oral history studies. * Professor Anne O’Keeffe, Mary Immaculate College, University of Limerick, Ireland * This excellent book is pioneering in showing how the methods of corpus linguistics can illuminate oral history. Fitzgerald has assembled an impressively strong group of authors with different specialisms: each chapter provides an exemplary case study of how corpus linguistics and oral history can be combined to mutual advantage. * Ivor Timmis, Emeritus Professor of English Language Teaching, Leeds Beckett University, UK *
