Houndmills, Basingstoke: Palgrave Macmillan (Nov. 2013)</span><br><br><span class=usercontent>About the book</span><br><span class=usercontent>Corpus Linguistics is becoming an increasingly important branch of language research</span><br><span class=usercontent>and interest has spread noticeably beyond the confines of academia, fuelled by</span><br><span class=usercontent>applications like text predicting software. The idea of priming in language goes back to the early 1960s with the concept of a 'Teachable Language Comprehender', which started experiments into language processing and which inspired one of Google's chief engineers. The concept of Lexical Priming (Hoey: 2005) aims to supply answers as to how we can explain word choices and construction forms that are more frequent than laws of probability would allow. This book provides a range of arguments to support the validity of Lexical Priming as a linguistic theory, while it also extends the reach of what Lexical Priming has been used to describe. Beyond the written-text material originally used, this book provides evidence that lexical priming also applies to everyday spoken conversations as its psychological foundations predict that it should.<o:p></o:p></span></span></h5><h5><span lang=EN-US><br></span><span class=usercontent><a href="http://www.palgrave.com/products/title.aspx?pid=668070" target="_blank"><span lang=EN-US>http://www.palgrave.com</span><span lang=EN-US>/</span><span lang=EN-US>products/title.aspx?pid=668070</span></a></span><span lang=EN-US><o:p></o:p></span></h5><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";mso-fareast-language:FI'>Dr. Michael Pace-Sigge<br>Senior Lecturer,<br>Room 155 Agora<br>Tel.+ 358 (0) 294452154<br><br>School of Humanities<br>University of Eastern Finland<br>P.O.
