Please note: the article “Good–Turing frequency estimation without tears” is not available online. Now that we have an efficient mechanism to channel fees for photocopying copyright academic literature to its authors, I am afraid I cannot afford to go on giving away those of my writings which are in heaviest demand. (Although the costs to any individual are tiny, cumulatively this income is becoming significant to me.) So I invite you to copy the paper (or, if you are a student in a class where it is prescribed reading, to ask your tutor to arrange for batch copying) from one of the printed versions, either in Journal of Quantitative Linguistics vol. 2, 1995, pp. 217–37, or as chapter 7 of Sampson, Empirical Linguistics, Continuum (London and New York), 2001 – obeying the applicable copyright requirements, which may allow one-off copies for individual private study without fee, but will certainly require a fee for multiple copies, e.g. in support of a university course.
