[Corpora-List] BNC online down???

[William Fletcher]

Bom dia Stella,

While it may not meet your needs, my "Phrases in English" site is based on the BNC and allows you to find phrases up to 6 words long, then retrieve 50 random concordances of the phrase from the BNC. Full functionality is available at 
http://pie.usna.edu , with a much more limited version at 
http://kwicfinder.com/BNC/

Regards,
Bill Fletcher

(Some Paulistas are unable to access the pie.usna.edu site, and I cannot access some sites in São Paulo from USNA.  I intend to make the kwicfinder site into a proxy server for the former if there is a demand for it.  Please let me know if you cannot access it via email to 
fletcher @ kwicfinder.com 
remove spaces)

Colleagues,

Does anyone happen to know what's the matter with the BNC online version?  I haven't been able to access for a few days.

Hope it's nothing serious! What with Cobuild "out of the game" (temporarily, I hope), we'd be left with no online corpora for English!

Or does anyone know of other corpora available on the Web?

Thanks for any light!

Stella
