Corpus linguistics is one of the most exciting approaches to studies in applied linguistics today.

It has been said of the brothers Wilhelm and Alexander von Humboldt that between them they were the last people to have known all that there was to know, to have had a mastery of the best that contemporary science knew and to have made significant contributions, to be that rare thing Renaissance men.

This volume brings together the advanced research results obtained by the European COST Action 2102 "e;Cross Modal Analysis of Verbal and Nonverbal Communication"e;, primarily discussed at the PINK SSPnet-COST2102 International Conference on Analysis of Verbal and Nonverbal Communication and Enactment: The Processing Issues, held in Budapest, Hungary, in September 2010.

Combining the fields of phraseology and contrastive analysis, this book describes how patterns, defined as recurrent word-combinations with semantic unity, behave cross-linguistically.

Data-Driven Techniques in Speech Synthesis gives a first review of this new field.

In response to the need for reliable results from natural language processing, this book presents an original way of decomposing a language(s) in a microscopic manner by means of intra/inter‑language norms and divergences, going progressively from languages as systems to the linguistic, mathematical and computational models, which being based on a constructive approach are inherently traceable.

One of the most hotly debated phenomena in natural language is that of leftward argument scrambling.
