[Corpora-List] corpus? of English usage example sentences

[P. Kaszubski]

Dear All,

I have been trying unsuccessfully to locate an web resource that
would contain example sentences illustrating English usage (words,
phrases structures) - of the kind found in dictionaries today. Such
collections are obviously well guarded property of ELT publishers but
perhaps there is something like this available somewhere in the
public domain? I would appreciate any pointers.

Alternatively/additionally, I'll be grateful for tips on publications
describing automated methods of deriving good one-sentence
illustrations from corpora.

Thanks in advance,

P. Kaszubski
