Howdy y'all,

a long while back I asked for information on German and English corpora
which are tagged for grammatical functions, as well as for accessible
parallel English-German corpora. Here is a summary of the replies I got.


ENGLISH GRAMMATICALLY TAGGED CORPORA

Joybrato Mukherjee (j.mukherjee at uni-bonn.de) drew my attention to the
International Corpus of English, which can be ordered at the following
website (which also allows you to download a very nice demo version):

GERMAN GRAMMATICALLY TAGGED CORPORA

George Smith (george at bloomfield.phil1.uni-potsdam.de) drew my attention to
the NEGRA and TIGER projects, which can be reached via the following
websites:

PARALLEL CORPORA GERMAN-ENGLISH

Anatol Stefanowitsch (anatol at rice.edu) drew my attention to a small
web-accessible parallel corpus at the University of Chemnitz:

   http://www.tu-chemnitz.de/phil/InternetGrammar/

Some people have their own collections of parallel texts, which they may or
may not be willing to share with others (there may be copyright issues
here).
The two that agreed to be mentioned here are
- Raphael Salkie (R.M.Salkie at bton.ac.uk), who has a collection of parallel
texts from websites, literature, manuals, EU- documents, political writing
and speeches
coming to about 800.000 words in each language.
- Anatol Stefanowitsch, who has a small collection of parallel  texts from
news magazines (about 15,000 words), and who is in the process of
assembling a larger parallel corpus of narrative writing.

Martin Frost (Martin at sinequa.com) drew my attention to the following
websites:

Thanks also to Klaus Abels, Petra Steiner, and Monika Budde for other
helpful hints.

Take care now,
Frank Oswalt
