Subject: Corpora: Freely accessible Corpus of American English
1) is there any freely accessible, fairly recent corpus of American
English
(preferrably both written and spoken and preferrably searchable with
Wordsmith)?
Check out: http://www.hti.umich.edu/m/micase/
The English Language Institute at the University of Michigan offers a
collection of transcripts of academic speech events. There are
currently 71 transcripts (totalling 813,684 words) available at this
site. You can browse and search the corpus on-line but they allow you
to download complete transcripts as well. With a little bit of editing
you should be able to search them with Wordsmith.
