The epilogue to this volume summarizes its relevance and contribution as far as the synergy between critical discourse analysis and corpus linguistics is concerned. It further discusses the issue of quantification, which seems to be the critical parameter in this synergy, and proposes the concept of discourse-driven quantification to complement the conventional corpus-driven quantification usually followed in corpus studies. Finally, it draws several conclusions on the basis of the individual chapters of the volume, which mainly concern the importance of genre as well as the viewpoint of various agents (discourse producers and receivers) as to how the Greek crisis is construed in diverse kinds of texts.
