Corpus of Contemporary American English

The Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA) is the only large and ”representative” corpus of American English. COCA is probably the most widely-used corpus of English. It is related to many other corpora of English that were formerly known as the ”BYU Corpora”, and they offer unparalleled insight into variation in English.

For general terms and conditions for this and other corpora from BYU please see https://www.corpusdata.org/restrictions.asp
