Corpora: complete lists of English function words?

[E S Atwell]

This is equivalent, possibly more useful depending on what you want the
list for:

http://www.comp.leeds.ac.uk/amalgam/tagsets/tagmenu.html

gives tagsets for several English Corpus tagging schemes (Brown, ICE, LLC,
LOB, Parts, POW, SEC, UPenn); for each tag, it lists words which have that
tag in the training corpus; for open-class content wirds these
are just examples which occurred in the corpus, but for closed-class
function words, a (more or less) comprehensive list is given.

You can also see examples of tags+ words in example re-tagged corpus
context at http://www.comp.leeds.ac.uk/amalgam/amalgam/multi-tagged.html

Hope this is useful
