Using Corpora to Explore Linguistic Variation illustrates the ways in which linguistic variation can be explored through corpus-based investigation. Two major kinds of research questions are considered: variation in the use of a particular linguistic feature, and variation across dialects or registers.
After decades of being overlooked, corpus evidence is becoming an important component of the teaching and learning of languages. Above all, the profession needs guidance in the practicalities of using corpora, interpreting the results and applying them to the problems and opportunities of the classroom. This book is intensely practical, written mainly by a new generation of language teachers who are acknowledged experts in central aspects of the discipline.
This volume summarises the most recent advances in the optimal clinical management of preterm labour, using the best available evidence. Preterm labour remains a challenge today, even with the latest developments discussed here. The contributors (mostly practising clinicians) are all actively involved in research into the mechanisms, aetiology, treatment and associated outcomes of preterm labour.
The fifth edition of Management of High-Risk Pregnancy, like its predecessors, is directed to all health professionals involved in the care of women with high-risk pregnancies. The book contains clear, concise, practical material presented in an evidence-based manner.
