Editorial Reviews

«[...] most papers in the volume go beyond strictly theoretical approaches and employ various empirical methods in their analyses, for example questionnaires or language corpora. This “linguistics in action” attitude, together with a broad range of issues covered, makes the volume a comprehensive, readable, and useful source of information on the topic.»
(Krzysztof Kosecki, Lamicus 1/2017)
