[Corpora-List] corpus linguistics

[Sean Igo]

I'm a newcomer / observer on the list, so I haven't weighed in - but I 
would like to voice support for Antoinette Renouf and Geoffrey Williams, 
as well as those who sent complaints to the list moderator outside the 
list. The latter have caught a bit of trouble from a couple of 
commenters and I would like to point out that it's perfectly consistent 
for people to complain about mailing list clutter in a way that does not 
further clutter the mailing list.

If only it were true. Message filtering is how I've been handling it - 
but the thread has been renamed a few times. It started as something 
like "Chomsky and computationnel linguistics", was renamed to "Chomsky 
and computational linguistics", and has branched out into "is a complete 
grammar possible?", "ad-hoc generalization and meaning", and now "corpus 
linguistics".

I don't really mind one way or the other if the discussion continues, 
but I would like to request that people keep the thread name consistent.

Regards,
Sean Igo
