Table of ContentsReviewsWith this volume, Yin and Vine have produced an exciting collection of original corpus-based studies focusing on high-frequency language items (including verbs, personal pronouns, adverbs, conjunctions) that can serve multiple semantic and pragmatic functions depending on the context they are used in, which makes them notoriously difficult for language learners to fully master. The insights that these studies provide have direct pedagogical implications and practical applications in teaching contexts. I highly recommend the volume to applied linguistics and language educators who would like to better understand the complex nature of multifunctional forms or wish to help their students improve their communication and (academic) literacy skills. ---Dr. Ute Roemer, Georgia State University """With this volume, Yin and Vine have produced an exciting collection of original corpus-based studies focusing on high-frequency language items (including verbs, personal pronouns, adverbs, conjunctions) that can serve multiple semantic and pragmatic functions depending on the context they are used in, which makes them notoriously difficult for language learners to fully master.
