Studies in Corpus Linguistics aims to provide insights into the way a corpus can be used, the type of ¼ndings that can be obtained, the possible applications of these endings as well as the theoretical changes that corpus work can bring into linguistics and language engineering. The main concern of SCL is to present endings based on, or related to, the cumulative e¤ect of naturally occuring language and on
the interpretation of frequency and distributional data.
