Abstract
When, after almost two years of preliminary research, the actual compilation of FRED started in March 2000, the Freiburg team had had enough time to think about, discuss, consider possible and dismiss impossible research questions and devise a list of objectives for which the finished corpus should be suitable.1 The research tradition of other Freiburg corpora provided two clear objectives (for F-LOB and Frown, see, for example, Mair, 2002; Mair et al., 2002).
