The whole volume arose from a "four-year collaborative research project PhraseoRom on the phraseology of contemporary novels" and "the contributed chapters combine literary studies with corpus linguistics to analyse fantasy, romance, crime, historical and science fiction in French and English. The authors offer new insights into long-standing debates on genre distinction and the hybridization of genres by deploying a new, interdisciplinary methodology."
