You are now receiving a complaint from me. There has<br>
been an interesting and relevant discussion on this<br>
list. Indeed, it has been the most interesting<br>
discussion regarding linguistics I have read since I<br>
have signed up.<br><br>
If this discussion is considered to be irrelevant to<br>
the field and you wish to censure it in this forum, I<br>
would suggest you change the name of your listserv to<br>
"language corpus engineering".<br><br>
Sincerely,<br>
Michael Swanton<br><br>
