Harold:
Well, it depends what language you are using. In Spanish, the
plural of 'corpus' would be 'corpus', especially if you're not trying to
be snotty or hypercorrect. Even in English, except here on the list, I
might very well use 'corpuses'. Maybe someone can check the BNC and see
what they come up with.
