Synopsis:
Investigates linguistic variation in the Spanish language.

Description:
The main focus of this book is the investigation of linguistic
variation in Spanish, considering spoken and written, specialised and
non-specialised registers from a corpus linguistics approach and
employing computational updated tools. The ten chapters represent a
range of research on Spanish using a number of different corpora drawn
from, amongst others, research articles, student writing, formal
conversation and technical reports. A variety of methodologies are
brought to bear upon these corpora including multi-dimensional and
multi-register analysis, latent semantics and lexical bundles. This
in-depth analysis of using Spanish corpora will be of interest to
researchers in corpus linguistics or Spanish language.

Many countries around the world block or filter Internet content, denying access to information - often about politics, but also relating to sexuality, culture, or religion - that they deem too sensitive for ordinary citizens. 'Access Denied' documents and analyzes Internet filtering practices in over three dozen countries, offering the first rigorously conducted study of an accelerating trend.
