Hello from snowy Moscow !

I am sorry for my maybe non-practical questions

Could anyone write me about sources of info about the following
topics:

1 If I have ready-to-use corpus - what are the criteria that
it is balanced, complete, universal in a definite meaninig of this words?

2 If I construct a specific corpus according to some pragmatic goal -
in other words - what is the relationship between pragmatics and
the corpus creation, its contents?

3 How to extract pragmatic info from corpus texts?
Roughly - here I mean pragmatics as Grice wrote - what a text means is
semantics - and what did mean the author of the text is its pragmatics
