<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Dear Corpora colleagues, Why are some
linguists , e.g. Eva , are lucky? Somebody paid attention to their MA or
articles and stole them. They must not complain of plagiarism , but be proud. I
have published 325 books and articles but nobody stirred a finger to steel them.
So, I am not lucky. Now I am constructing a corpora of colour terms in the
texts of different British and American writers. I am struggling with
Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875 - 1950) who wrote about Mars and apes. Have you read
him? So, I do not know how many of the writers I can plan to measure theit use
of colours. I made a report at a univerity conference. Many psychologists said
it is extremely interesting since they never read anything of the sort. I am
amazed that I am the first to measure the colour outlook of the British and
American writers in the exact numbers. Or may be I am not aware of any
plagiarism of my works? Be well, remain yours sincerely Yuri
