This resource contains a copy of the original TV corpus, provided by Mark Davies on 4th June 2021 via the corpus service at https://www.english-corpora.org. The corpus contains 325 million words of data in 75,000 TV episodes from 1950 to 2018. The TV scripts come from several different English-speaking countries (US, UK, 4 other dialects), which allows to compare very informal language in these countries. The corpus is related to many other corpora of English, formerly known as the ”BYU Corpora”.
