[Corpora-List] Reference corpus of Academic English

[Lia]

Dear All,
I made up a specialised corpus of scientific research article abstracts (time span 2000-2005), now I am looking for a reference corpus of academic English (preferably written register). I was thinking about the MICASE or? 
Furthermore, I intend to tag it semantically for specific investigations like textual colligation, evaluation and cohesion. The authors I am referring to are Hoey, Hunston & Thompson, Martin. Does anybody have any hints,clues or pieces of advice to suggest?
Thanking you for your colloboration.


Best wishes
