<DIV><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=2>I wondered whether anybody on the list knows
about an online corpus available for download and consisting of </FONT><FONT

into a data base that could be used as an aid for reading comprehension by
helping learners of English as a second language to spot allusions to such
proverbs or expressions.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
