Corpus-based methods both in linguistics and NLP need breakthroughs for further development. Applications such as machine translation, Q/A with deductive inference ability, intelligent dialogue systems, etc. require deeper representation of meanings than surface constituent structures. Machine learning techniques also have to exploit more linguistically motivated features. Combining corpus-based methods with linguistic formalisms may give rise to a new type of linguistics.
