This book has got a rather curious exegesis. While researching into how far the language of Marx left any mark in nineteenth- and twentieth- century fiction, I noticed the extraordinary proclivity of trigrams—binomials or, to be more precise, linked noun phrases. Before work on the Marx paper was completed, I had set off doing some investigations into these particular constructions. Yet, at that stage, little did I know that two years later (and, given that we now live under the cloud of a global pandemic— in a different life altogether) a book would come out of this. Consequently, my first thanks go to Dr Odette Vassallo and her team, who gave me an early platform to air my ideas during the 2018 InterVarietal Applied Corpus Studies (IVACS) conference in Valletta, Malta. I am also particularly grateful to Professor Cantos Gomez, who published my paper on multi-word units in poetry: crucial background research for Chap. 3 of this book. I also like to thank Dr Katie Patterson and Jess Pope who—again— were willing proofreaders of my script. I would not know what to do without you! My thanks go to my editor at Palgrave Macmillan, Cathy Scott, the anonymous reviewers who provided useful advice and
