Ronald Carter, University of Nottingham 'This corpus-based description of the grammatical and discourse features of signaling nouns provides important insights into their use, and makes a critical contribution to exploring cohesion and coherence in texts. It's well worth reading!' Peter H. Fries, Professor Emeritus, Central Michigan University 'This book will be a valuable reference to those who are interested in the systematic functions of nouns and language educators within academic writing and reading.' Kevin Jiang, Functions of Language 'This book is a welcome addition to Cambridge University Press's excellent Studies in English Language series. For John Flowerdew it represents the culmination of work on a set of nouns that he first identified and named in 1994 and on which, often with Ph.D. students and other research associates, he has been working ever since.'
