"Zou, Smith, and Hoey did a great job in compiling this volume of corpus-based and corpus-driven research on Chinese, English, and EFL. ... This volume also opens many new venues of corpus-based research. ... Corpus Linguistics in Chinese Contexts will be of great value for corpus linguists, applied linguists, EFL and CSL practitioners, as well as anyone interested in the theoretical and practical issues related to corpora."
