The Contents of our Linguistic Intuitions
. This includes things 
like simple usage frequency of single words, but extends to 
combinations of words, phrases, idioms, their marked an unmarked 
meanings, degrees of atypicality and speculating about what they refer 
to pragmatically (Hunston, 2002). When the corpus characterization of 
linguistic intuition suggests native speakers have no intuitive 
knowledge about grammatical categories, they mean we cannot 
declare that knowledge intuitively. In other areas of linguistics just 
because we might not be aware that ‘have eaten’ ‘did eat’ are different 
structurally and semantically, it doesn’t mean we have no intuitive 
knowledge about this, because it is precisely our linguistic intuition 
that allows us to use these forms expertly and effortlessly – or shall 
we say, intuitively. Secondly, and perhaps more importantly valuably, 
Hunston makes us aware that we get used to associating certain words 
in certain syntactic structures to the point where if another word is 
used in an identical structure, we may jump up and say, ‘that’s wrong’ 
or ‘that’s not good’. How our intuitions mingle and mess with one 
another is a crucial question and yet it might be one of the most 
difficult to answer. Experiments need to be developed to assess this.
