Hi,

The following are useful references:

Biber, Douglas. "Representativeness in corpus design." {iLiterary and
Linguistic Computing} 8 (1993): 243-57.

Kretzschmar, William, Charles Meyer, and Dominique Ingegneri. "Uses of
inferential statistics in corpus studies." In Corpus-based studies in
English - Papers from the seventeenth International Conference on English
Language Research on Computerized Corpora (ICAME 17), Stockholm, May 15-19,
1996, edited by Magnus Ljung, 167-78. Amsterdam / Atlanta: Rodopi, 1997.

hope this helps
tony.
