The book "Corpus Linguistics for Writing Development" by Philip Durrant, published in 2023 by Routledge, offers advanced beginners in the fields of education, language, and linguistics selected corpus linguistic techniques for investigating the writing development of language learners. It provides programming skills in R without requiring prior knowledge of R. The book covers various aspects of writing development, such as vocabulary, grammar, and linguistic patterns, and demonstrates their practical implementation using corpus data and R code. It ends abruptly without a concluding chapter or exercises for further practice. Therefore, the book is only partially recommended for beginners without programming skills.
