Corpus Linguistics is becoming an increasingly important branch of language research and interest has spread noticeably beyond the confines of academia, fuelled by applications like text predicting software. The idea of priming in language goes back to the early 1960s with the concept of a 'Teachable Language Comprehender', which started experiments into language processing and which inspired one of Google's chief engineers. The concept of Michael Hoey's lexical priming aims to supply answers as to how we can explain word choices and construction forms that are more frequent than laws of probability would allow.

This book provides a range of arguments to support the validity of lexical priming as a linguistic theory, while it also broadens the basis on which lexical priming claims have been made previously. Beyond the written-text material originally used, this book provides evidence that lexical priming also applies to everyday spoken conversations as its psychological foundations predict that it should.

Michael Pace-Sigge is Senior Lecturer in the School of Humanities at the University of Eastern Finland. He previously taught at the University of Liverpool, UK. His research areas include corpus linguistics, phonetics, sociolinguistics and spoken English use with special interests in lexical priming and Liverpool English (Scouse).
