[Corpora-List] Diachronic corpora

[Mark Davies]

>> For Portuguese:
>>
>> Corpus do Português. 45 million words, 1300s-1900s.
>> http://www.corpusdoportugues.org

> Not that free...

Online access to the corpora (via the same architecture and interface as the other corpora from http://corpus.byu.edu) *is* completely free, and will always be so, although the full texts themselves are not available offline (copyright and licensing issues)

P.S. For more on what one can do with online corpora, even without unlimited full-text access, see:

Davies, Mark. (2010) "More than a peephole: Using large and diverse online corpora". In Worlock Pope, Caty (ed.), The Bootcamp Discourse and Beyond: Special Issue of International Journal of Corpus Linguistics 15: 405–411.
