<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear colleagues:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I would like to thank the people listed below for
taking time out from their busy schedules to give me on-line addresses of
Spanish corpra (which I will share with my Spanish teaching colleagues) and to
send me examples of strings which I had requested. For those of you who may
be interested I received the following information. If I have forgotten anyone,
my sincerest apologies. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Best wishes,</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT face=Arial size=2>From <U>Mark Davies </U>I
received the following:</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><BR>Feel free to take a look at <A
href="http://mdavies.for.ilstu.edu/corpus">http://mdavies.for.ilstu.edu/corpus</A>,
which is a <BR>small three million word sample corpus that shows some of the
functionality <BR>that will be part of the 100 million word corpus of Spanish
that I'm <BR>creating as part of an NEH-funded project.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><BR>One of the nice things about this corpus is
that for any one of 30,000 <BR>different lemma, you can input the lemma and it
will show you all of the <BR>synonyms in the corpus, and these can be limited by
frequency (e.g. all of <BR>the synonyms of "triunfar" that occur at least 5
times in the 1900s). You <BR>can also search by part of speech (35
different categories) as well as by <BR>lemma (e.g. all forms of a given
verb). In the case of your query, for <BR>example, you could look for <
haber.* que > and it will give you the <BR>construction in all of the
different tenses. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>From Aquilino Sánchez Pérez I received the
following information which I'll (try) to translate.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><BR><U>Te aconsejo que adquiers el Gran Diccionario
de Uso del Español Actual, de<BR>la editorial SGEL s.a. Con él te regalarán un
corpus del español de 2<BR>millones de palabras, con el gestor incluido. En el
corpus Cumbre, de 20 millones de palabras, TAL VEZ y QUIZÁ(s) ofrecen<BR>datos
muy abundantes, como verás en los ficheros que te adjunto.<BR><BR></U>I suggest
you get thel Gran Diccionario de Uso del Español, from the publishers SGEL S.A.
With this you will receive a Spanish corpus of 2 million words free of charge,
including the program (I'm not sure I've translated that right). In the Cumbre

see in the files which I have attached.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Susana Sotillo offered to look in
her corpus and Dr. Leonel Ruis who wrote the following:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Tengo un corpus escrito de la prensa y escolares
cubanos. Si desea, la podemos ayudar al respecto.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In addition, Rachel Virgínia Xavier Aires has a
