32: Refuse to Lose


Book Description

I may be a fighter on the ice, but I have a heart of gold—if only I could find a woman to share it with. When my good friend Caleb tries to set me up with a woman ten years younger than me, I’ll be the first to admit I wasn’t exactly kind in my refusal. But I quickly learned that there’s more to Callie MacTavish than being young, blonde, and rich. In fact, she’s probably the most down to Earth woman I’ve met. It doesn’t take long for me to fall for her . . . just in time to learn that she’s leaving. All books in the Enforcers of San Diego series can be read as standalone titles.

Developing Linguistic Corpora


Book Description

A linguistic corpus is a collection of texts which have been selected and brought together so that language can be studied on the computer. Today, corpus linguistics offers some of the most powerful new procedures for the analysis of language, and the impact of this dynamic and expanding sub-discipline is making itself felt in many areas of language study. In this volume, a selection of leading experts in various key areas of corpus construction offer advice in a readable and largely non-technical style to help the reader to ensure that their corpus is well designed and fit for the intended purpose. This guide is aimed at those who are at some stage of building a linguistic corpus. Little or no knowledge of corpus linguistics or computational procedures is assumed, although it is hoped that more advanced users will find the guidelines here useful. It is also aimed at those who are not building a corpus, but who need to know something about the issues involved in the design of corpora in order to choose between available resources and to help draw conclusions from their studies.
