Daer Jungsoo (and others)<br><br>we have the <a href="http://www.engelska.uu.se/Research/English_Language/Research_Areas/Electronic_Resource_Projects/A_Corpus_of_English_Dialogues/">Corpus of English Dialogues</a> and <a href="http://www.ling.upenn.edu/histcorpora/">Penn Historical Corpora</a> in the <a href="http://sketchengine.co.uk">Sketch Engine</a>. So, you can comfortably, flexibly search them without having any overhead of setting up. <br>
<br>(We worked with Jonathan Culpeper on the former and Tony Kroch on the latter. For PHC you'll first need to get a licence from Tony Kroch.) <br><br>If there are other corpora that people want SkE access to, do let us know, and we'll be happy to add them to resources available in the Sketch Engine<br>

<div>Dear Jungsoo,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>There's also the Parsed Corpus of Early English Correspondence (PCEEC), freely available via the Oxford Text Archive: <a href="http://www-users.york.ac.uk/%7Elang22/PCEEC-manual/index.htm" target="_blank">http://www-users.york.ac.uk/~lang22/PCEEC-manual/index.htm</a>.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It has 2.2 million words from 1410-1695. A bit earlier than the ones Kat mentions, but it has the advantage of being POS-tagged (though not lemmatized).</div>
