I realise this is a little specialised - following the responses to
Susana - but does anyone know of a corpus of <b>Architecture </b>texts,
complete with drawings or even spoken commentary.<br>
We have an ESL-medium Architecture programme here at HKU and are looking
for material for a searchable corpus.<br>
We actually have ESL-medium university programmes across the spectrum,
and are looking for corpora across that spectrum, but so far have only
really found - and developed - highly suitable corpora for our Law
students.<br>
Any ideas welcome.<br>

On behalf of Susana Doval, many thanks to the people who provided her
with<br>
the following information on corpora for ESP:<br><br>

STELLA TAGNIN<br>
Take a look at
<a href="http://www.fflch.usp.br/dlm/comet" eudora="autourl">
www.fflch.usp.br/dlm/comet</a>.<br><br>
Then, on the right hand side, click on CorTec. I think the rest
is<br>
self-explanatory.<br><br>
you can´t access the texts, but can get a wordlist and use the
concordancer.<br><br>
SERGE SHAROFF<br>
in my view the best option is to collect the corpus you want<br>
automatically using BootCat tools:<br>

How silly my reply might seem, consider using as a corpus hansards of
the<br>
Parliament.<br>
<a href="http://www.parliament.the-stationery-office.co.uk/pa/ld/ldhansrd.htm" eudora="autourl">
http://www.parliament.the-stationery-office.co.uk/pa/ld/ldhansrd.htm</a>
<br>
Of course if you want it tagged, you have to do it by yourself, what is
bad<br>
news.<br>
