<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Chomsky has to be negatif about corpora
because<BR>they represent a linguistic paradigma which is<BR>the inverse of the
chomskyan paradigma.<BR>Chomsky liberated linguistics from behaviourism<BR>but
degenerated in metaphysics e.g. his move-theories:<BR>every practical sentence
should be formed by<BR>changing an ideal sentence. Judging
malformed<BR>sentences from children or not-educated people<BR>(and understood
by everyone) as being skrewed <BR>is beyond linguistics. May the disciples
of<BR>Chomsky change their views. The cognitive functioning of<BR>language is
too complicated to fit in Chomsky's<BR>metaphysics.<BR>Otto
