The research in this book represents part of a wider project on text-based research which has spanned a number of years. The project was initiated and managed by Peter Mickan in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Adelaide, Australia. The Department has been a fertile environment for scholars from many different countries undertaking text- based research and investigating text-based teaching.

We are acutely mindful of the support we have received from family and frien
