Attached below is a summary of the replies to my query about
Corpus Linguistics courses (in no particular order).
Thanks to everyone who responded! :-)

On that page you can also view a proposal for a seminar
on Corpus Linguistics I may be giving at the Catholic
University of Sao Paulo, Brazil, (PUC) in the first semester
of 1998. The message about this seminar is in Portuguese,
but the bibliography is in English and might be of interest to those
who do not read Portuguese (at least one of the items
in the bibliography has got a hypertext link to its
location on the net). The seminar page can be accessed directly at
http://www.liv.ac.uk/~tony1/ementa.htm
I hope to place materials to be used during the seminar on the web
at some stage. I welcome feedback.
Chris Brew asked the following question, which deserves a discussion
of its own:
`Incidentally: what do _you_ understand by the term Corpus Linguistics?
Does it exclude IBM work on statistical MT? CMU work on Language Modelling
for Speech Recognition). Does it include Mosteller and Wallace's classic
work on the Federalist papers. If not: why not?'

complete via Internet: by viewing and receiving materials via the
World Wide Web and by sending email. The three-semester-hour
course is offered for graduate credit.

It's computational linguistics rather
than corpus linguistics, but I thought the survey was nicely done,
and thought it might be of interest if you haven't seen it.

I suggest you look up the Web pages of the department of language
engineering at UMIST too.
If you read French, there is a good book for a course on
corpus linguistics about to come out here, by Habert, B. et al, published
by A. Colin, Paris. I don't know the title yet, I guess it should be out
within the next 3-4 months.
