Which of the following sentences is more natural or normal, is there any difference?
- Currently, there are powerful query languages for XML.
- Currently, powerful query languages exist for XML.
What are the other alternatives?
Answer
Both seem natural to me. I'd use both without hesitating.
What are the other alternatives?
I actually can't think of any without making the sentence clumsy
It's possible to say:
Currently, there exist some powerful query languages for XML
but this sounds mathematical, sounding similar to "For every x, there exists a y such that..." so I wouldn't use it.
