John Sinclair is one of the most influential figures in world
linguistics, an innovator who revolutionized the study of spoken
discourse and pioneered corpus-based research.
In this definitive collection, papers reflecting his most important
work of the past decade have been collated and organized into
meaningful sections, providing a clear statement of Sinclair's
thinking and research.
* "Foundations" outlines the major theoretical principles on which
subsequent chapters are constructed;
* "The organization of text" traces the development of Sinclair's
insights into the relationship between text structure and
dialogue;
* "Lexis and grammar" presents core papers on the description of
vocabulary, its relationship with grammar and the role of corpus
analysis in describing lexical patterns.
Featuring introductions and summaries of key arguments, "Trust the
Text "is an essential addition to any linguist's bookshelf.
