Review of: Wilson, Andrew, Paul Rayson, Tony McEnery, eds. (2003). Corpus Linguistics by the Lune. A Festschrift for Geoffrey Leech. (Łódź Studies in Language 8). Frankfurt am Main: Peter Lang.

The volume under review is a collection of 15 papers read at the Corpus Linguistics 2001 conference held at the University of Lancaster (30 March-2 April) to honour Prof. Geoffrey Leech. The contributions in this volume clearly show a healthy tendency towards the diversification of corpus linguistic research. On the one hand, we note that new techniques and methodological procedures make it possible to broaden the range of topics that can be approached in this way. While the former sort of broadening of the purview of corpus linguistics may be thought as being primarily on a descriptive level, we also note, on the other hand, a similar, more qualitative diversification whereby some aspects of more or less well known phenomena come to the fore that have as yet gone unnoticed.
