Abstract
The ready availability of large corpora has opened a range of interesting possibilities for linguistic research, and Geoffrey Sampson's article illustrates that a corpus-based perspective can also motivate revisiting the general direction and methodology of linguistic research. At the same time, the discussion in Sampson's article pushes two issues to rather extreme conclusions, which I think could be useful to revisit here.
