[Corpora-List] Lists of English nouns, verbs,...

[Mark Davies]

And for American English, you might try the 360+ million word BYU Corpus of American English (1990-2007):

http://www.americancorpus.org

Just select the part of speech from the drop-down list, change the number of hits to what you want, and off you go.

Also, on both that site and on my BNC interface (http://corpus.byu.edu/bnc) you can select a genre or sub-genre from a drop-down list (e.g. MAGAZINES or MAGAZINE-Sports) and get the listing for that as well. I don't think this functionality is available from the other sites.

Best,

Mark Davies

Hi,

Can anyone point me to free, downloadable lists of English nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs--each a separate list.
The sites mentioned by Maxwell and Laura  in their postings about  electronic dictionaries don't seem to  have links to such lists.
Thanks in advance.

Shekhar Pradhan
