Recenzje

'The book is an essential contribution to Corpus Linguistics, Applied Linguistics, and Theoretical Linguistics, as it presents a bird's eye view of the convoluted topic of writing development for both researchers and practitioners … It then zooms in on each particular developmental unit by breaking down the construct in a systematic and organized way, which is one of the most remarkable features of the book … The book is a worthwhile read and an invaluable resource for all interested in writing development and corpus linguistics.' Hatice Altun, Linguist
