Central issues are the presentation of major corpus resources (both corpora and software tools), the findings (especially about frequency) which are simply not accessible without such resources, their theoretical implications relating to both lexical units and word meanings, and the practical – especially pedagogical – applications of corpus findings. This is complemented by a lexicographer’s view on the data structures implicit in the Oxford English Dictionary (OED). The volume, which has sprung from the 36th ICAME conference, held in at Trier University in May 2015, will be of relevance for theoretical and applied linguists interested in corpora, word usage, and the mental lexicon.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“In conclusion, corpus linguists can look forward to reading this fine selection of a top quality papers first presented at the 36th ICAME conference in Trier. Indeed, the volume provides more than the results of a few fascinating individual case studies using a range of corpus resources and state-of-the-art tools: it also explores methodological issues and proposes new procedures and measures. Moreover, Corpora and Lexis also contributes to the refinement and development of (new) theoretical concepts and features novel applications of corpus-based findings in lexicographic and pedagogical applications.” ~ Elen Le Foll, Universität Osnabrück, on LINGUIST List (July 2019)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Figures and Tables  Notes on Contributors    Introduction   Sebastian Hoffmann, Andrea Sand, Sabine Arndt-Lappe and Lisa Marie Dillmann  1 Modelling Lexical Structures in the Oxford English Dictionary   Edmund Weiner  2 Investigating the Circumstances of Coinage   Antoinette Renouf  3 Synonym Selection as a Strategy of Stress Clash Avoidance   Julia Schlüter and Gabriele Knappe  4 Intensification with Very, Really and So in Selected Varieties of English   Karin Aijmer  5 The Pragmatics of Well as a Discourse Marker in Broadcast Discussions   John M.
