Dear Linguists:
I would like to correspond briefly with anyone who has had experience
using the LaserIPA font IPAKielSeven, on a Mac with System 7.l with
Microsoft Word 5.la, or with System 7.5.5 with Microsoft Word 6.0.1.

Subject: Spoken English Corpus
I am trying to find an American (or British) English Spoken corpus (1
million words aprox.) with a wide range of discourse: radio/tv
interviews, political discourse, friends chats, educational lectures,
etc. Do you know of any corpus with these features? Where and how can
I get a hold of it?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Intrinsic properties of grammars are often attributed to some feature
of cognition in general. For example, a number of scholars have argued
that the structure-dependence of grammatical rules and their cyclic
application simply exemplify the way the human mind structures and
processes ALL complex information, whether grammatical or otherwise.
When it comes to LOCALITY conditions on rules, however, the consensus
of those who would attribute to them an external explanation is that
their origins lie in language USE. That is, the effects of principles
such as Subjacency, the ECP, and other locality conditions are said to
be attributable to the reduction of processing complexity in parsing.
What I find interesting is that these same locality restrictions
restrict COVERT operations as well as overt ones. Using GB
terminology, it is widely accepted, for example, that the ECP affects
interpretation. And in at least some languages it is clear that
Subjacency affects the interpretation of the scope of wh-type
elements, even if there is no movement. Indeed, in many OV languages
there is little if any overt movement, yet one can show that the same
principles constrain interpretation that constrain overt displacement
of elements in movement-rich VO languages.
What I am wondering is why this should be so. On-line parsing
pressures could hardly be responsible. What could an 'external
explanation' for this phenomenon be? Does anybody say that mental
operations involving structured representations are subject to
'locality conditions'? If so, who?
I'll summarize if there is enough interest.

Hello, I was wondering if anybody on the LINGUIST list could help me
in locating bibliographical references regarding Spanish word
frequency dictionaries/lists? I would really appreciate any
information regarding this matter.
