context1: Take some thing, say A, having n attributes, a, b, c...: we are forced to posit each of these because each is presented in <strong>intuition</strong>. But in conceiving A we make, not n positions, still less n+f positions, but one position simply; for common <strong>sense</strong> removes the absolute position from its original source, sensation. So when we ask, What is the one posited?
context2: In some <strong>sense</strong>, all work with corpora – just as all work with discourse - is properly comparative. Even when a single corpus is employed, it is used to test the data it contains against another body of data. This may consist of the researcher’s <strong>intuitions</strong>, or the data found in reference works such as dictionaries and grammars, or it may be statements made by previous authors in the field.
