[Corpora-List] German corpora

[Ralf Steinberger]

Hello Jaime,

 

You may want to have a look at the German documents of the freely available
JRC-Acquis corpus, downloadable from

 

            http://langtech.jrc.it/JRC-Acquis.html

 

The document collection covers the last 50 years or so, but texts are
organised chronologically so that you can pick those of interest to you. The
corpus covers written language only, though.

 

I hope this helps. Kind regards,

 

Ralf

Hello 

 

I'm a PhD student interested in researching German corpora for Anglicisms. I
am searching for all types of recent corpora, especially spoken corpora,
from around 2005 onwards.

 

I would really appreciate it if anybody is able to make any suggestions as
to what might be available for students to research free of charge.

 

Best regards,

Jaime
