<div><span>Due to the nature of the tera-word corpora currently in circulation, I find it very difficult to wrap my mind around the notion of a msg of *any* length being unrelated to corpus linguistics or corpus-based studies. At the very least it could be (and probably will be) corpus data at some point. Beware, flamers! -- your excesses are doomed to immortality.</span></div>
<div><span></span> </div>
<div><span>By the way, Emiliano (from a different thread that Khurshid actually seems to have been responding to), my response to your contribution to that thread contains several (5, not counting the name of the list itself) occurrences of the word 'corpus' and morphologically-derived words (OK, admittedly in an off-thread paragraph, but which itself sparked a little discussion, which is at the least my point in all of this).</span></div>

Upon returning from a brief time (3 days) away from my e-mail - I found it
clogged with short messages that may or may not be related to corpus
linguistics or corpora-based studies. Respect the bandwidth friends.

trademarking and branding that I've seen. The problem wouldn't exist if
the drug companies put enough effort into pronouncability and auditory
distinctiveness, and didn't find it necessary to differentiate their own
product so dramatically from their competitors'.
