    Dear Ute (and Beatrice and list-members),

    if you want to work on German in your corpus class: there is a very nice
    tool for tagging and morphological analysis called MORPHY which you
    could use. I like it a lot for teaching purposes because it is easy to
    understand and to use - you can change a number of parameters and
    directly see the consequences. Another bonus is that the documentation
    on MORPHY is very well-written. The two texts given below are so clear
    that students will be able to understand it without too much prior
    knowledge.
    MORPHY can be downloaded from
    http://www-psycho.uni-paderborn.de/lezius
    The documentation can be downloaded from
    http://www.ims.uni-stuttgart.de/~lezius
    For students I would especially recommend Rapp and Lezius (2001) and
    Lezius, Rapp & Wettler (1998).

    If you are still looking for (short) research papers, look at the
    proceedings of the Corpus Linguistics Conference in Lancaster, 2001:
    there are a number of very interesting topics.

    Since I also have to teach corpus linguistics I am very interested in
    any other replys you receive.

    Best wishes,
    Anke
