[Corpora-List] API for accessing Google's English ngrams?

[Min-Yen Kan]

Hi Ruvan, all:

You might also try out Microsoft's Ngram data, which I believe is
available through web service calls (not 100% sure of this, haven't
tried it myself), and does not need (or allow?) to be downloaded.

Cheers,

Min

You can also search for collocates, as well as compare n-grams across different time periods (e.g. adjectives with "woman" 1820s-1910s vs 1960s-2000s). You can also limit to just a subset of the n-grams data (e.g. just the 62 billion words of data from the 1980s-2000s).
