why is it so difficult for us to buy these corpora in China?
if somebody goes to Europe, China, or US, please buy many of them to come back. i will pay for one copy.
i have an idea, we should open a special shop in our BBS for us to buy corpus linguistics and softwares.
two advantages:1. much cheaper because of buying them in group
2.more convenient for us and save much postagae
what about this idea?
 
It is quite convenient to order online, but the problem is that PRC citezens don't have foreign currencies for the payment due to the currency restriction policy.

One more question is that China-bound CDs will have to undergo strict inspections through China Customs. Delays and even confiscations are very probable.
 
I do think BNC bady is cool, because it is slim (as compared with the overweighted World Edition) and does not require too much computer resources.
 
it's a pity, i haven't a baby either. i can't find many examples of this word"backlash", anybody has a baby or world can upload the screenshots of this word? thank u very much in advance.
