<a href="http://corpus.byu.edu"><span style="color:#1F497D">http://corpus.byu.edu</span></a>, I request that people cite the corpus itself (e.g.
<a href="http://corpus.byu.edu/faq.asp#cite"><span style="color:#1F497D">http://corpus.byu.edu/faq.asp#cite</span></a>), but of course they are also welcome to cite one of the papers I’ve written describing the corpus (e.g. #12 COHA or #25 COCA or #35 CdE from</span>

<a href="http://corpus.byu.edu/publicationSearch.asp">http://corpus.byu.edu/publicationSearch.asp</a> lists 200+ articles from the past year, which have used the corpus data, but the actual number is probably 4 or 5 times that high. But at least it’s a start…<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">Suppose I use a text corpus and I extract some statistical information from it or I train a POS tagger based on it. Well, I have used the corpus, but I have not directly used the paper which
describes it i.e. I have not quoted a paragraph from the paper in my research. Is there any standard style for citing the corpus itself, as a data set? Is it a good idea to do so? What about the corpus authors, do they prefer users to cite their paper rather
than the corpus itself?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
