Subject:  Release of the ICE-GB Corpus


The Survey of English Usage, University College London, is pleased to
announce the release of the ICE-GB corpus, the British component of
the International Corpus of English (ICE).

ICE-GB is a fully parsed corpus of adult British English from the
1990s.  It contains 300 spoken texts and 200 written texts - a total
of 1 million words. The texts are distributed across 32 categories,
including private conversations, telephone calls, court proceedings,
broadcasts, social letters, examination scripts, and academic writing.

ICE-GB has been grammatically analysed at wordclass level, and at the
function and category levels. The analyses are presented as labelled
syntactic trees - 83,419 trees in total.

The corpus is distributed with its own dedicated retrieval software,
ICECUP.

ICE-GB and ICECUP are available now on CD-ROM.

A Sample Corpus of ten parsed texts, together with ICECUP, may be
downloaded free from our website, at:
