Many students study company law as part of a degree or professional education or training. Unfortunately, company law is not an easy subject to study or understand and students need all the help they can get. Q A Company Law provides valuable guidance on answering the types of questions which can be found in degree and professional examinations. One difficulty with company law is that it involves a complicated web of relationships between the company, its shareholders, its directors and third parties. Students often find it hard to see the 'big picture' while grappling with the technical complexities of the law. While designed primarily as a revision aid, this book also provides considerable assistance during the study of the subject by helping students to draw together themes and ideas from all aspects of their company law course.

This book will be of particular interest to anyone interested in the application of corpus linguistic techniques to language study and instruction. This volume includes selected papers from the Fourth North American Symposium, held in Indianapolis and hosted by the Indiana Center for Intercultural Communication at Indiana University Purdue University in Indianapolis (IUPUI) in November, 2002. These papers – from authors representing eight countries including the U.S., Belgium, China, France, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands, and Spain – provide a wide range of views of and approaches to corpus linguistic. Topics range from theory and analysis to classroom application, and include the study of oral discourse as well as the study of written discourse, including internet-based discourse. Consequently, this volume is divided into two sections. The first section focuses on the use of corpus linguistics in the analysis of spoken and written discourse; the second section focuses on the direct pedagogical application of corpus linguistics, reflecting the applied foundation of this branch of linguistics.
