To all my devoted readers:
The mystery that most people have about doing corpus based research can be alleviated a bit by doing some reading online. One source I recommend is one I have been putting together for a while now, and that is my library at google books.
Most of what I have saved is on limited preview, so if there is something you would like to see but cannot find, or would like to purchase but want to know more before making a commitment, then feel free to look around.
Here is the link.
Enjoy!
