Our absolutely biased Top 10 Info Sources
Well, what to say? There is LOTS of stuff on corpora out there and it is getting more and more. This is an
attempt to give you about 10 really good portals into the world of corpora beyond Stanford. But note also that
some of our local pages contain further links to corpora
and corpora-tools & Software (local as well as non-local). Ok, here we go:
General portals
- Gateway to corpus linguistics on the
internet
By Florian Jaeger: Yeah, maybe I am being patriotic here ;-), but this is a nice page, well
structured, containing tutorials, a bibliography, nice summaries of corpora, tool overviews, etc. It even
explains to you how to save 16 days of work by using it as a reference source. The sitemap provides an easy way
to navigate through the different parts of the site and the database seems to up-to-date (05/22/04). Finally,
let me mention that this site does not only offer introductions for the beginnner but covers a wide range of more
advanced topics in corpus linguistics.
- David Lee's Database of Corpora and Tools
By Florian Jaeger: This is definitely the biggest collection of corpora, corpora tools, tutorials,
helpers, email lists, etc. (over 1,000 annotated links the last time I checked). Well, organized and easy to
navigate. Nevertheless, even this one is not complete =).
- The Linguist List Texts page
- University of Tübingen Corpora page (German) -
corpora and
corpora tools
- Essex Corpus Linguistics
- Chris Manning's CL Resources page
By Florian Jaeger: A large collection of annotated links (focusing on computational corpus linguistics):
a lot of links to (free) software, dictionaries, copora, treebanks, corpora mark-up languages, and some organizations.
This is a great site to start a search for a particular (type of) software.
