    Dear all,

    I'm working on my MA degree project using WordSmith Tools to analyse a
    specialised corpus. Because of the limited availability of a reference
    corpus, I can only use the Brown corpus as my reference corpus, which is
    just half the size of my specialised corpus.

    Could anyone advise me the implications of having a reference corpus half
    the size of the specialised in a corpus analysis using WordSmith Tools.

    Thank you in advance for any advice.

    Peter Lam
