These factors have enabled a revolution in the accessibility of digitally stored language, both in sampled and organized corpora and in its raw unsampled form on the internet. But this technology has also allowed a step-change in experimental methods readily available to linguists. The new arrival of such enormous quantities of data in greatly increased detail has made information accessible which could previously not even have been dreamed of. This volume is a selection of research reports from linguists who are making use of this new information and trying to integrate the new insights into their analyses and theoretical assumptions UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9783110198621 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9783110198621 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9783110198621/original ER -
