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

[Adam Kilgarriff]

Daer Jungsoo (and others)

we have the Corpus of English
Dialogues<http://www.engelska.uu.se/Research/English_Language/Research_Areas/Electronic_Resource_Projects/A_Corpus_of_English_Dialogues/>and
Penn
Historical Corpora <http://www.ling.upenn.edu/histcorpora/> in the Sketch
Engine <http://sketchengine.co.uk>.  So, you can comfortably, flexibly
search them without having any overhead of setting up.

(We worked with Jonathan Culpeper on the former and Tony Kroch on the
latter.  For PHC you'll first need to get a licence from Tony Kroch.)

If there are other corpora that people want SkE access to, do let us know,
and we'll be happy to add them to resources available in the Sketch Engine

Regards

Adam
