</span><b style="color: black; font-size: 14px;">440 million words</b><span style="font-size: 14px;"> of downloadable text (190,000 separate texts). Balanced for genre — about 88 million words each of spoken, fiction, magazine, newspaper, and academic. With
the included [sources] table, you can also search by sub-genre, e.g. News-Financial or Academic-Medicine.</span></span></font></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color: black;"><font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="background-color: white;">The corpus of </span><a href="http://corpus2.byu.edu/glowbe/"><span style="background:white">Global Web-Based English</span></a><span style="background:white"> (GloWbE).
<b>1.8 billion words</b> of downloadable text (1,800,000 separate texts). Divided into groups from twenty different English-speaking countries (US, UK, Canada, Australia, India, etc). About 60% from blogs, for very informal language.</span><o:p></o:p></font></li></ul>
<p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: white;"><font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: black;"><br>
</span>Of course with the full-text data from either corpus, <b>you will have the actual corpora on your computer</b>. As a result, you can do many things that would be difficult or impossible with the standard
<a href="http://corpus.byu.edu/">web interface</a>, such as <span style="line-height: 18px;">sentiment analysis, topic modeling, named entity recognition, advanced regex searches, creating treebanks, and so on.</span><br>
<br>
The data comes in <a href="http://corpus.byu.edu/full-text/formats.asp"><span style="color: black;">three different formats</span></a> (see
<b><a href="http://corpus.byu.edu/full-text/samples.asp">samples</a></b>): data for relational databases (<a href="http://corpus.byu.edu/full-text/database.asp"><span style="color: black;">info</span></a>), word/lemma/PoS (vertical), and linear text (horizontal).
When you <a href="http://corpus.byu.edu/full-text/purchase.asp"><span style="color: black;">purchase the data</span></a>, you purchase the rights to any and all of these formats.<br>
