[Corpora-List] Google Ngrams tool?

[Mark Davies]

>> Does anyone know of a tool, preferably a software package, which deals with Google ngrams taking dates into account? Goolge Ngram Viewer shows trends but does not allow for an analysis of, say, collocations of a certain word during a certain time-frame. 

http://googlebooks.byu.edu/

This does collocates, and you can see the collocates in each time period. e.g.:

http://googlebooks.byu.edu/?b=x4&c=us&q=10283408

and even compare the collocates in two different periods, e.g.:

http://googlebooks.byu.edu/?b=x4&c=us&q=10283420

>> Also, any pointer to a publication by historians who utilized this resource (other than anecdotal examples in "culturomics" publications) would be much appreciated. 

See http://googlebooks.byu.edu/compare-googleBooks.asp#x6

These are some "starter" examples of what can be done with the interface. In the next two weeks I'll be sending off a paper to a journal, which provides lots of culture-oriented searches from the Advanced/BYU Google Books interface.
