The creation of this corpus was made possible by RGC earmarked grant CUHK 2/91. The project was supported by two studentships from the Hong Kong Polytechnic University and a studentship from the University of Hong Kong. In addition, funding was provided by a direct grant from Faculty of Arts, Chinese University of Hong Kong, a grant from the Freemason's Fund for East Asian Studies, as well as research assistantships from the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. We would like to express special thanks to the following individuals for help and advice, without which the computerization of the corpus would not have been possible: Brian MacWhinney (Carnegie Mellon), Kwan Tze-wan (CUHK), Cathy Wong (U of Hawaii, CUHK), Wing Wong (CUHK), Lawrence Cheung (CUHK), Joseph Kwok (CUHK), and Ann Law (CUHK, University College London).
