    Dear list members,

    I am a French PhD student researching in Corpus Linguistics at
    Lancaster University. My PhD deals with modality and the subjunctive
    and my aim is to carry out a contrastive analysis on the French and
    English languages.

    I have been working on the Lancaster-Oslo-Bergen corpus (LOB)
    and on the Freiburg-LOB corpus (FLOB) for the English part
    of my data.
    Now I have started working on French corpora.
    I already have got some corpora (and I am aware of others) that I can
    use but I was wondering if you could send me a list of data which I
    could
    have access to and on which I would be able to carry some analyses.
    Ideally, I would like to gather a French/English parallel corpus
    (with the texts being aligned if possible).

    I will appreciate any contribution and help.

    Furthermore, are you aware of corpus tools (taggers/lemmatizers)
    that I could use for my analyses of the French?
    (I know about Cordial 6 Universites and will probably purchase it,
    and I am currently working with ParaConc (Barlow, 1995)).

    I would be grateful if you could tell me where I could obtain
    a tagger/concordancer which would enable me to retrieve occurrences
    of the French subjunctive.

    Thank you in advance for your help, your answers and suggestions.
    Noelle
