Subject: [Corpora-List] Query: free online corpora

 

Dear all, 

I'm looking for online corpora of English which can be accessed and searched
online, free of charge (either requiring registration or not). I'm
interested in all varieties, times periods, genres, modes, levels of
annotation, etc., and it doesn't matter whether a search returns all data or
only a sample. 

I'd be very grateful if Corpora members could let me know of resources which
fit these criteria and are not already listed at the foot of this message.
I'll post a summary of responses in due course. 

 

thank you!

Wendy
