Hello,
Which is correct to use: which or where?
Also, are the commas used correctly?

A number of randomly selected British novels, belonging to different periods of time and genres, represent the corpus from which/where we have extracted the lexical means containing seeing verbs.

Thank you!

A number of randomly selected British novels belonging to different periods of time and genres represent the corpus from which we have extracted the lexical means containing ‘seeing verbs’.

I don’t know what the underlined part means.

"lexical means’ refers to ‘lexical resources’ (the structures or sentences extracted from the text containing verbs of visual perception)
Seeing verbs (I think this is a mistake; I should have said ‘verbs of seeing’)

I understand the meaning of the individual phrases, Stejar, but it still doesn’t make sense to me. Possibly because I’m not seeing the context.

OK. Thank you for pointing this out. I’ll try to think of a way to make it clearer.
Thank you again!
