From BNC file EDK:  J. Salt and D. Coleman, _The British population:
patterns, trends_, Oxford University Press, Oxford, 1992.


This extract begins at a sentence break in the middle of a paragraph.



00461  "he consequences" -> "be consequences"

00464  "furthermore" -> "Furthermore", at the beginning of a sentence.
This orthographic oddity has led to other oddities in the way that
BNC represents this wording (genitive ending not separated from the
preceding noun), and in consequence two sentences have been numbered
as a single long s-unit.  The LUCY file restores the standard segmentation,
but does not modify the BNC s-unit numbering.

00483  "re-enforced" is an unusual word, not recognized by COD; it may
be a solecism for "reinforced", but it could possibly be intended as
a different word with a different shade of meaning (enforced a further
time), and in view of the stature of this publisher LUCY has not amended
the original.

00511  "pretentions" -> "pretensions", corrected in BNC

00512  the <gap> entity refers to a table of figures in the original.
