Abstract This paper shows how online travel articles may provide important insights into how a tourist destination is perceived and to what extent what is known as the ‘tourist gaze’ may be used to recontextualise tourist material in order to produce more effective tourist texts, which meet receivers’ expectations. For this purpose, three comparable corpora of online travel articles in English, Italian and German language were assembled and analysed in order to understand the way ordinary travellers perceive and experience a tourist destination in Italy (Puglia) by taking language as a point of reference. The first fifteen words of the frequency lists in the three corpora highlighted what landmarks and elements of attraction English, Italian and German travel writers gaze at while on holiday in Puglia. The analysis demonstrated that the Italian tourist gaze is different from the English and German tourist gazes, since not all of them focus on the same landscapes, and even when they gaze at the same sights, their perception and representation are often different. The similarities and differences between the ways the tourists behave suggest a distinction between a model of ‘global gaze’ embodied by English and German travellers, seen as ‘outsiders’, and a model of ‘local gaze’ embodied by Italian tourists, seen as ‘insiders'

Abstract This paper argues for, and presents, a modest approach to XML encoding for use by the majority of contemporary linguists who need to engage in corpus construction. While extensive standards for corpus encoding exist - most notably, the Text Encoding Initiative’s Guidelines and the Corpus Encoding Standard based on them - these are rather heavyweight approaches, implicitly intended for major corpus-building projects, which are rather different from the increasingly common efforts in corpus construction undertaken by individual researchers in support of their personal research goals. Therefore, there is a clear benefit to be had from a set of recommendations (not a standard) that outlines general best practices in the use of XML in corpora without going into any of the more technical aspects of XML or the full weight of TEI encoding. This paper presents such a set of suggestions, dubbed Modest XML for Corpora, and posits that such a set of pointers to a limited level of XML knowledge could work as part of the normal, general training of corpus linguists. The Modest XML recommendations cover the following set of things, which, according to the foregoing argument, are sufficient knowledge about XML for most corpus linguists’ day-to-day needs: use of tags; adding attribute value pairs; recommended use of attributes; nesting of tags; encoding of special characters; XML well-formedness; a collection of de facto standard tags and attributes; going beyond the basic de facto standard tags; and text headers.

Diachronic linguistics has recently experienced a new impetus from Construction Grammar approaches to language change (for an overview of diachronic research in this field see Traugott and Trousdale 2013: 39–40). In this context, Martin Hilpert’s research monograph on constructional change in English provides a theoretically-informed as well as empirically-grounded account of language change in allomorphy, derivational morphology and syntax. The case studies contained in this book thus also consider levels of language structure below the level of syntax (so far the main focus of attention in diachronic Construction Grammar) and thereby contribute to the theoretical discussion of constructions and their abstract representation in the language users’ minds. What is more, the book expertly highlights the insights gained by corpus linguistic methodologies for theory-building and the statistical evaluation of diachronic corpus data. In the introductory chapter, the author concisely sketches the theoretical preliminaries of his Construction Grammar approach to language change, defining constructional change as follows:
历时语言学最近经历了一种新的推动力，即建构语法方法对语言变化的研究(有关该领域历时研究的概述，请参阅Traugott and Trousdale 2013: 39-40)。在这种背景下，马丁·希尔伯特的研究专著对英语结构变化提供了一个理论信息和经验基础的语言变化的异体，衍生形态和句法的说明。因此，本书中的案例研究也考虑了语法层次以下的语言结构层次(到目前为止，历时结构语法的主要关注焦点)，从而有助于对结构及其在语言使用者头脑中的抽象表征的理论讨论。更重要的是，这本书熟练地强调了语料库语言学方法对理论建设和历时语料库数据的统计评估所获得的见解。在引言部分，作者简要概述了构式语法研究语言变化的理论基础，并将构式变化定义为:
