Found another google books scan that's just missing four pages in the middle.. Maybe I'm looking back on 2004 era google with shit colored glasses but I'm starting to think that whole exercise was about building a model training corpus and none of these was ever intended to be read by actual people

@hannah It's possible. I mean, in that era, they were working on stuff that was re-creating work I'd done in undergrad as an honours project, and I'd said "this is the kind of data you'd need to make this real" and by 2004 they'd absolutely have known that too.

So I'd say... yeah, seems likely.

@hannah Less cynically, they paid people horribly and didn't do enough QA. Libraries have taken up some slack; thank goodness for Hathi Trust!
