Résumé
The goal of this paper is to examine the relationship between corpus size and conclusions drawn from corpora regarding questions of grammatical theory. Many linguists, typically those with a ‘usage-based’ orientation, assert that introspective data, unlike corpus-derived data, is of little relevance to the construction of the correct theory of language. This paper challenges that view, arguing that introspective data and corpus-derived data do not lead to different conclusions about the nature of linguistic theory.
