The contributions to the present festschrift for Peter Lucko deal with a broad spectrum of topics in English linguistics, ranging from variationist and comparative research in world Englishes, the investigation of second language varieties, the study of academic and political discourse to accounts of verb categories. The authors make use of various methodological and theoretical frameworks, including computational and corpus linguistics, cognitive linguistics, critical discourse analysis and descriptive sociolinguistics. The plurality of topics and approaches reflects not only latest trends in English language studies but also Peter Lucko's own research interests.
