Corpora: corpus census

Thu Jun 7 15:41:22 UTC 2001

Dear list members,

In Corpus linguistics (1996:18), Tony McEnery and Andrew Wilson give the
following table ("studies" is the number of corpus studies conducted during
the period).

Date	studies
to 1965	10
1966-1970	20
1971-1975	30
1976-1980	80
1981-1985	160
1986-1991	320

Would anyone have figures (or estimates) for the two lines that could now be
added 1991-1996 and 1996-2001 ?
