More specifically, it explores and advocates for some of the ways in which participation in, and contribution to, global scholarship can become a more socially just practice for academics, especially novice scholars and early-career researchers in the field of Applied Linguistics. It also highlights the role and agentive engagement of both established and junior members of academic communities as an important factor in demonopolizing and democratizing academic discourses and practices and making the mobilization of scholarship more diverse, inclusive, multivocal, and transformative.

However, it places tremendous demands on apprentice scholars, particularly doctoral students and newly initiated academics. This book, Novice Writers and Scholarly Publication, sets out to provide valuable experiences, opinions and suggestions to both Anglophone scholars and English-as-anadditional-language (EAL) scholars. The subtitle Authors, Mentors, Gatekeepers hints at the divergent range of perspectives of senior writers, mentors, journal editors and reviewers, providing individual views and empirical research on the practices and challenges in writing for publication.

This dominant discourse has resulted in an approach to research which has extremely marginalized and underrepresented writing for scholarly publication practices of Anglophone scholars. This chapter presents a critical perspective on the discourse of The Lucky Anglophone Scholar doctrine and highlights the exigency of further empirical research into writing for scholarly publication practices of Anglophone scholars, especially novice scholars.

The book closes with a call to action research in the Conclusion, but – unlike earlier work, especially Baker (2008), which draws on subjectivity to link an underlying queer theoretic/poststructuralist position to the practice of action research – does not so clearly link subjectivity to an underlying theoretical position. An equally important part of the book, alongside the theoretical groundwork it lays out, is its focus on quantitative methods and the sheer practicalities of corpus linguistics for people unfamiliar with the discipline. Baker introduces various statistical tests and how they translate into interpretations of the data. He emphasizes the hazards of making unwarranted generalizations from your corpus, the effect that individuals can have on the data, and the difficulties associated with searching for some patterns (e.g. those not reducible to a string searches or those that are ‘covert’). This title could easily serve as an undergraduate textbook for a course on corpus linguistics, and in this capacity it would ideally be supplemented by more detailed explanation and motivation of the different methods and theoretical debates that are showcased in successive chapters. For instance, Chapter 2 introduces both Spearman rank order correlations and Manhattan distance, but it is unlikely that the discussion is simple enough for a non-statistician to engage with, nor clear enough for other readers to be able to reconstruct the conceptual baggage that they carry. If used as a teaching text, Baker’s book would benefit from a discussion of the different statistical techniques, the assumptions and theoretical commitments that underpin them and the debates that surround them, or from cross-referencing to resources that explain these in greater detail. Notwithstanding these criticisms, our overall impression of this book is very favourable. Ehrlich et al.’s (2014) section on methods for studying language and gender has a lacuna in respect of corpus linguistics, and Baker’s latest title certainly helps to fill that gap. This book raises many germane questions about the directions of language and gender research and the potential and challenges associated with using corpus methods in the development of the field. It reaches out to new readers as well as seeking to forge the interdisciplinary bridges that Baker says he has felt himself stretched to make in his own career.

Although references are made to the application of issues to pedagogy, the chapters lack direct guiding principles that can translate the concepts into straightforward and practical recommendations for action and research. Finally, addressing methodological problems such as data collection and analysis could have made it easier for readers to follow some of the concepts.

This introductory volume provides a comprehensive view of what ERPP encompasses as a scholarly field, including its disciplinary boundaries, competing discourses within the field, research and practice paradigms, and future prospects for research and pedagogy in this field. The book portrays a multifaceted and nuanced picture of the discourses and discussions shaping and underlying ERPP, focusing on key aspects including:
