Talk:Text corpus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Structure of the article

This article is not structured properly. An article is supposed to start off with a brief introduction (which in this case would rougly summarise what a corpus is and the uses of corpora, I think). Then comes the body of the article which is where all aspects of the subject are explained in more detail. Thus the information in the introduction can be thought of as a subset and preview of what will be contained somewhere in the rest of the article. In this article as it now stands, that is not the case: the "rest of the article" (i.e. what comes after the table of contents) does not fully cover the subject, but seems to supplement what has been said in the introduction (which is therefore more than an introduction). Basically this means that a lot of what is now in the "introduction" needs to be moved down into the body of the article and one or more sections added to the latter to contain that information. --A R King (talk) 17:51, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
