DESCRIPTION:The availability of large memory spaces in computers has promo
 ted the creation\nof corpora of normal and pathological speech and languag
 e samples. The analysis\nof these corpora demands different strategies to 
 those used in balanced factorial\ndesigns.\n\nIn this talk I will discuss 
 four topics: 1) the incorrect use of "significance" as an index\nof effect
  size\, 2) the importance of indices of agreement between transcribers\, 3
 ) the\ndanger of unit dependencies in the analysis of data obtained in the
  context of dyadic\ncommunication and 4) a way of coping with sequential d
 ependencies in the analysis\nof corpus data.
