[Corpora-List] Bootcamp: ' Quantitative Corpus Linguistics with R'

[Bill Louw]

Roll up! Roll up!

'The world is all that is the case. The world is the totality of things not of facts (sic)'(Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus... in reverse)

Collocation chunks the world into facts or '_Sachverhalten_', 'states of affairs'. Just as well this camp does not claim to offer anything real, like battle conditions; but Stefan does hedge it about this time, by saying 'not necessarily'. Carnap may need to go on the reading list. 'Meaning and Necessity': are they merely collocates? Sounds like fun, but I'd make for a dude ranch until I was sure collocation is in :)
