Abstract:

Some corpus linguists prefer to research using plain text, while others first prepare the texts by adding various analytic annotations. The former group express reservations about the reliability of intuitive "data", whereas the latter group, if obliged to choose, will reject corpus evidence in favour of their intuitive responses. This paper attempts to move from the broad differences expressed above to a small number of specific points of contrast between the two approaches.
