Citations in the corpus

• Hedging, Inflating, and Persuading in L2 Academic Writing. (2005, background): “For instance, Stubbs (1996) found that the frequency of hedges in written prose differs substantially between such genre as newspaper news or travel reports, academic texts, and printed advertising.”
• Analyzing Late Interlanguage with Learner Corpora: Québec Replications of Three European Studies (2003, methodology): “Corpus linguists use large corpora to provide a more detailed and accurate description of the lexis, discourse, pragmatics, and of course morpho-syntax of NS English than has been previously available (Biber, Conrad, & Reppen, 1998; Sinclair, 1991; Stubbs, 1996).”
• Toward a sociocognitive approach to second Llanguage acquisition (2002, background): “…realization among linguists that statistical-collocational relationship between various linguistic features is a major principle in the syntagmatic and paradigmatic organization of language-in-use and its acquisition (e.g., Saffran, Aslin, & Newport, 1996; Seidenberg, 1996; Stubbs, 1996, chap.”
• From Intended Curriculum to Written Curriculum: Examining the "Voice" of a Mathematics Textbook (2007, background): “18 An exception to this is Stubbs' (1996) examination of geography textbooks where he identified particular language forms and functions and showed evidence of the ideological positioning of the textbooks based on the prevalence of these linguistic features of each text.”
• Appraising Research: Evaluation in Academic Writing (2010, background): “Channell (2000) also focuses on evaluative lexis from yet another perspective, that of the covert evaluative functioning of lexical terms (see Sinclair 1991; Stubbs 1996).”
• Mining large corpora for social information: The case of elderly (2007, background): “Although fairly recent, the projects mentioned above are related, in spirit if not necessarily through explicit attribution, to the early British school of linguistics associated with J. R. Firth, to whom many corpus linguists acknowledge considerable scholarly debt (Sinclair 2003, Stubbs 1996).”
