LINGUIST List 22.292 Mon Jan 17 2011 Qs: Developing Corpora with Semantic Purposes Editor for this issue: Danielle St. Jean <daniellelinguistlist.org> We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate. In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have taken the trouble to respond to the query.

I have not yet found any books or other materials which can guide me through developing one. I have chosen this subject for my M.A thesis, but I want it to be expandable. I have planned to include written and spoken data in this corpus, and it's not going to be limited to a special kind of text. However I want this data to be tagged properly so that different analyses would be possible for others beyond what I will develop for my thesis. I was wandering if you could tell me what to read and/or who I can contact with on this subject? Thanks in advance, Shaya Shahabi Linguistic Field(s): Semantics                             Text/Corpus Linguistics Subject Language(s): Farsi, Western (pes) Read more issues|LINGUIST home page|Top of issue Page Updated: 17-Jan-2011       About LINGUIST    |   Contact Us       While the LINGUIST List makes every effort to ensure the linguistic relevance of sites listed on its pages, it cannot vouch for their contents.
