Hi,

I am looking for references describing the differences and similarities
between the kinds of research carried out under the label 'Corpus
Linguistics' and research being done in other related fields such as NLP
and Humanities Computing. Questions one might ask about this: As these
areas co-exist, what are the characteristics that set them apart? Which
historical developments if any led to the establishment of these separate
areas? Are they going to merge and become one? Will there come a time when
there will be no more Corpus Linguistics as all linguistic research will be
corpus-based?

thanks.
tony.
ps-Will post a summary.
