    I would like to ask what would be a permittable size for a sublanguage corpus?

    I would also like to ask if there has been any recent work on sublanguage/genre
    or text type discimination on the basis of verbal form (both finite and
    non-finite forms)
    or
    if there has been recent work referring to verb form distribution i.e. which are
    the most frequent tenses or verb forms etc. in specific special languages. I am
    particularly interested in the legal, commercial, computing or science special
    language in general.

    I am aware of the work by Sager Sager, J.C. Dungworth, D. and McDonald, P.F.
    1980. English Special Languages. Wiebaden: Brandstetter Verlag. but I wonder
    if there is anything more recent on the subject,

    Thank you in advance.
