Second, according to Humane Society International (UK), "most of these minimum welfare standards are not being met on EU fur farms," so the idea that EU fur farming is more regulated and humane doesn’t really hold up. (check out this website if you're interested: www.hsi.org/news-resourc...

For books, "Corpus Linguistics: Method, Theory, and Practice" by Tony McEnery and Andrew Hardie is a great introduction. Plus, there are plenty of YouTube videos on applying corpus linguistics that can be super helpful for beginners.

Corpus Linguistics on MOOC is a great place to start (www.futurelearn.com/courses/corp...). We just finished an 8-week free course with mentors answering questions, but it should be back for free next September!
