[Corpora-List] old/modern english corpus data??

[George Walkden]

Dear Jungsoo,

There's also the Parsed Corpus of Early English Correspondence (PCEEC), freely available via the Oxford Text Archive: http://www-users.york.ac.uk/~lang22/PCEEC-manual/index.htm.

It has 2.2 million words from 1410-1695. A bit earlier than the ones Kat mentions, but it has the advantage of being POS-tagged (though not lemmatized).

Best,

 - George

Dear Jungsoo,

You may find the following helpful:

Corpus of Late Modern English Texts - https://perswww.kuleuven.be/~u0044428/
It comprises of two sections: the Corpus of Late Modern English Texts (CLMET) and the Corpus of Late Modern English Texts Extended Version (CLMETEV).  Both comprise of texts arranged in the following time periods: 1710-1780, 1780-1850, and 1850-1920. The texts are varied in terms of genre, ranging from personal letters to literary fiction to scientific writing but inevitably has more formal prose.

Does anyone know where to find freely available online old-/modern- English corpora, whose data are before 1800 (Googlebooks corpora are not ideal for me)? It would be more than wonderful if they have a search function that enable us to search data based on words, lemma, and parts of speech.

I would be really grateful for any sorts of help,
Jungsoo
