    Dear Corpus Experts,

    I am a student at Warsaw University and I want to do a
    corpus-based analysis of the absolute participle construction. I
    think that a syntactically annotated corpus would be best suited
    for my needs. Is there ready-made software available to process
    the Suzanne corpus? Is the Suzanne large enough to return a
    reasonable number of such constructions? What other
    syntactically-marked corpora exist which I could use?
    Otherwise, is it better(simpler?) to approximate the structure of
    NP+Participle with POS tags, and search for them in, e.g., the
    BNC?

    Thank you for help,
    Marcin Szumilas
