[Lexicog] lexicography

[Jan Allsopp]

Dear Colleague

You create a corpus as you go along as, if you are going to include citations of your headwords, you have to find them in everyday speech, newspapers, magazines, journals, travel brochurse, books, and a number of other literary sources.  You can also adopt items from an existing corpus.  

You can use both a translation corpus and a comparable corpus, which would help you to have a wider range of meanings in usage to draw on.

Hope this helps.
