Dear colleagues,

I am pleased to share information on the volume Discourse Constructions in
English: Meaning, Form, and Hierarchies which has just been published as part
of the Yearbook of Corpus Linguistics and Pragmatics book series (YCLP). 

This book emphasizes the advantages of examining discourse connectivity from a
constructionist perspective and highlights the role of discourse
configurations in the construction of meaning. The research contained advances
the field of cognitive classification and categorization of discourse
constructions. The text is a great improvement in the discourse analysis
literature, since it uniquely clarifies the subtleties of meaning between
different discourse markers that are frequently treated as equivalent by
lexicographers. It is unique in being the first contribution to the creation
of a Constructicon at the discourse level and it fills an important gap within
cognitively oriented constructionist accounts that have mostly restricted
their analyses to argument-structure and illocutionary constructions. This
yearbook appeals to students and researchers working within corpus
linguistics.

With best wishes,
Aneider Iza Erviti
