Obituary: Patrick Wyndham Hanks
Though best known for his extensive and often transformative writings on lexicography and corpus linguistics, Patrick Hanks was also a career lexicographer with a strong track record of managing a string of groundbreaking dictionaries.

By the time Sue retired (if she ever truly did), corpus-based lexicography was …

How dramatically the world has changed since Penny Stock and I wrote about the ‘Corpus Revolution’ in 1992. At the time, it was not hard to predict that computer processing power and storage capacity would carry on doubling each year. It was already clear…
