New start

When I was 'rabbiting on' late last year about what Douglas Biber was discovering about academic English from corpus research, Robert Walker shot back with: 'And are you going to write an executive summary of that?' Cheeky, I thought ...

But ever since it has haunted me. Standard guilt trip ...

So here's the upshot: Yes, I am going to try to summarise/etc what I read in future on academic language -
  • for my own purposes (I'm a slack skim reader)
  • and also for others (who have less time to keep up their reading).
So, after a long, long hiatus ... second time lucky.
