Corpus, language, and linguistic practices

Abstract

Lähivõrdlusi. Lähivertailuja (LV) ‘Close Comparisons’ now appears already for the 24th time in its history, and this is the sixth issue published in the current format: LV appears both online and on paper, as a publication series of the Estonian Association for Applied Linguistics. We are proud of this international series, which has in the last few years continuously grown in size, and we are happy to receive more and more article submissions on diverse issues of learning and understanding Estonian, Finnish and other Finno-Ugric languages. It seems that our series has established its position and found its way to readers interested in applied-linguistic research into Finno-Ugric languages. Of course, we cordially welcome all new readers and authors.

As in the preceding issues of LV, many articles in this 24th volume are based on talks given at a thematically closely related event: the workshop which was organised by the research network VIRSU (Finno-Ugric Target Languages) within the 2013 conference of AFinLA (the Finnish Association for Applied Linguistics) in Turku. However, there are also articles from other institutional contexts and research projects.
