Hello,

The English section of Corpus Eye (at http://corp.hum.sdu.dk) contains a

annotated and searchable), of which the following are password-free:

* Europarl corpus (25.7 mill. words)
* Wikipedia corpus (115 mill. words)
* Chat corpus (23.5 mill. words)
* KEMPE Shakespeare corpus (8.9 mill. words)
* Enron e-mail corpus (75 mill. words)

For details on the corpora, see the site's reference and copyright section.

Best regards,
Eckhard Bick
