The materials and further extension work on the computer analysis of lexis and corpora is a real bonus, while suggestions for further reading within the Intertext series as a whole will prove invaluable.' Sarah Fitt, Anglia Ruskin University,UK 'The units present wide-ranging and coherent information about how language works. Readers are given tools for analysis and a variety of texts with which to test their understanding. Above all, the book presents endless opportunities for dialogue between readers, writers and texts offering a vision of language study that is dynamic, engaged and relevant.'
