57,035 things to say

So I had another glimpse of my dear corpus today. And this time, Billy had a photographic proof that it does actually work on 'some computers' :) And this time too, I couldn't resist checking out at least one thing that I will be living with day and night for quite some time: the number of the(s) in the corpus. And yes, you guessed it, there are 57,035 of them. All I could say at this point is: "yalahwy" :) (do you remember this from 3 posts back?) Of course interpreting this word as expressing surprise or excitement or utter distress is a matter of pragmatic interpretation that would aim at explaining a deliberately ambiguous expression :)
