In this definitive collection, papers reflecting his most important work of the past decade have been collated and organized into meaningful sections, providing a clear statement of Sinclair's thinking and research. Foundations oultines the major theoretical principles on which subsequent chapters are constructed; The Organization of the Text traces the development of Sinclair's insights into the relationship between text structure and dialogue; Lexus and Grammar presents core papers on the description of vocabulary, its relationship with grammar and the role of corpus analysis in describing lexical patterns. Featuring intorductions, summaries of key arguments and a full annotated bibliography of Sinclair's publications, Trust the Text is an essential addition to any linguist's bookshelf.
