This Handbook represents the development of research and the current level of knowledge in the fields of syntactic theory and syntax analysis. Syntax can look back to a long tradition. Especially in the last 50 years, however, the interaction between syntactic theory and syntactic analysis has led to a rapid increase in analyses and theoretical suggestions. This second edition of the Handbook on Syntax adopts a unifying perspective and therefore does not place the division of syntactic theory into several schools to the fore, but the increase in knowledge resulting from the fruitful argumentations between syntactic analysis and syntactic theory. It uses selected phenomena of individual languages and their cross-linguistic realizations to explain what syntactic analyses can do and at the same time to show in what respects syntactic theories differ from each other. It investigates how syntax is related to neighbouring disciplines and investigate the role of the interfaces especially the relationship between syntax and phonology, morphology, compositional semantics, pragmatics, and the lexicon. The phenomena chosen bring together renowned experts in syntax, and represent the consensus reached as to what has to be considered as an important as well as illustrative syntactic phenomenon. The phenomena discuss do not only serve to show syntactic analyses, but also to compare theoretical approaches with each other.

The eleven contributions to this volume, written by expert corpus linguists, tackle corpora from a wide range of perspectives and aim to shed light on the numerous linguistic and pedagogical uses to which corpora can be put. They present cutting-edge research in the authors respective domain of expertise and suggest directions for future research. The main focus of the book is on learner corpora, but it also includes reflections on the role of other types of corpora, such as native corpora, expert users corpora, parallel corpora or corpora of New Englishes. For readers who are already familiar with corpora, this volume offers an informed account of the key role that corpus data play in applied linguistics today. As for readers who are new to corpus linguistics, the overview of approaches, methods and domains of applications presented will undoubtedly help them develop their own taste for corpora. This volume has been edited in honour of Sylviane Granger, who has been one of the pioneers of learner corpus research."

When you consider all the relationships in your life: your parents, your boss, your children, your intimate partner how many of them would be improved if you had better communication? How hard is it to say what we mean or to hear openly and without judgment what others are trying to tell us? Communication is the single most important aspect of any relationship whether it is business or personal. Get it right and success is almost guaranteed. Get it wrong and no degree of effort in other areas can save you. There is simply no argument against the idea that good communication improves and enriches our lives. But how do we usually approach it? How often do we look at others and say "you aren't listening" or "you don't understand me"? What if they don't understand us because we don't yet truly understand ourselves? Too often our minds are so cluttered with guilt, regret, blame and self-recrimination that we're afraid to look inside. We spend all our waking hours silently disliking ourselves and have forgotten how to love the most important person we know.If we are to effectively communicate what we want and need to the rest of the world, we must first know what those needs really are. But while that sounds so simple, we all know the reality feels much different. As individuals, we are experts in all manner of things relating to our professions or hobbies even celebrities we've never met but know precious little about the person we are closest to in ourselves. The path to better communication starts with self-forgiveness and travels through self-examination, self-understanding and finally self-love. Honestly Speaking shows you how to do that and how through doing so you change not only your life but also the lives of everyone important to you.
