”Overall, this is a really interesting book for a linguist to read. All the articles are well-written and accessible at any level of knowledge about corpora … and the problems encountered are diverse and challenging enough to engage anyone with an interest in language. This would serve nicely as a source of additional readings for courses in corpus linguistics, translation theory, or software design, as well as being a good source of good ideas and potential pitfalls for corpus and software designers themselves … this is a really good book, worth its price and bound to be useful for a long time to come.” in: <i>Language Learning & Technology</i>, Vol. 5, No. 3, May 2001, pp. 19–23

The use of corpus data in languages other than English has become increasingly important in recent years, and as a result has given rise to a growing body of research and applications in multilingual corpus linguistics. This book collects together a selection of papers which have made use of multilingual corpus data in language teaching, as well as linguistic research.
The corpora described in this book include data in a variety of languages, including Swedish, Chinese, German and Italian, and the contributors include well known scholars in the fields of corpus linguistics and corpus-based language teaching.
