The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

A corpus linguistics study of SMS text messaging (2009, background): “Corpus-driven linguists attempt to approach data with no explicit preconceptions as to what they will find and allow patterns to emerge from data itself, producing descriptions wholly consistent with corpus data in so much as they are informed wholly by it (Tognini-Bonelli 2001).”
Mining large corpora for social information: The case of elderly (2007, background): “…highlighted in recent programmatic statements include (i) its empirical approach and focus on authentic data, (ii) its contextual and functional approach to meaning, and (iii) its use of information technology (IT) to store and process language data (Tognini-Bonelli 2001:2; Teubert 2005).”
Collocation, Semantic Prosody, and Near Synonymy: A Cross-Linguistic Perspective (2006, background): “As such, synonymous words are not collocationally interchangeable (cf. Conzett 1997: 70–87; Tognini-Bonelli 2001: 34).”
A corpus study of metaphors and metonyms in English and Italian (2004, background): “The concern is with central and typical patterns of language (Tognini-Bonelli, 2001), but an adequate description of these can then form the backdrop for studies of poetic or deviant language (see for example, Louw, 1993).”
