"Collins has produced an extremely useful and practical resource for understanding how to use corpora to explore online communication. This book provides invaluable insight into not only the design and analysis of corpora, but also the technical and ethical considerations at stake. It is a very welcome addition to the area."Dr Michele Zappavigna, University of New South Wales, Australia
