[Corpora-List] Question: Citing Linguistic Corpora

[Kevin B. Cohen]

Hi, Morteza,

Certainly "cite" the corpus, as Adam suggests, but you should cite the
paper, too.  It's not relevant that you haven't quoted the paper about
the corpus in your paper--what is relevant is that you give your
reader the standard source for information about that corpus.

Best wishes,

Kev
