You must have a valid driver\'s license from your home country in order to get an International Driving Permit.

The definition page of this site states: "The concept of carrying out research on written or spoken texts is not restricted to corpus linguistics. Indeed, individual texts are often used for many kinds of literary and linguistic analysis - the stylistic analysis of a poem, or a conversation analysis of a tv talk show. However, the notion of a corpus as the basis for a form of empirical linguistics is different from the examination of single texts in several fundamental ways. In principle, any collection of more than one text can be called a corpus, (corpus being Latin for body, hence a corpus is any body of text). But the term corpus when used in the context of modern linguistics tends most frequently to have more specific connotations than this simple definition. The following list describes the four main characteristics of the modern corpus: Sampling and representativeness, Finite size, Machine-readable form, A standard reference." This site, a supplement the book Corpus Linguistics (Edinburgh University Press), should be your first stop if you're asking "What is a corpus, and what's it it?"
