TitleBYU Corpus of American English
Body
From http://linguistlist.org/issues/19/19-586.html

The 360+ million word ''BYU Corpus of American English'' (1990-2007), is freely available online (http://www.americancorpus.org). New texts will be added at least two times each year from this point on (20 million new words each year; 4 million words in each of the five genres), and it will thus serve as a unique linguistic history of American English since 1990.

The interface is the same as the interface for the 100 million word British National Corpus and 100 million word TIME Magazine corpus (see http://corpus.byu.edu )

Due to copyright and licensing issues, the corpus is not available in full-text form. Rather, as with BYU’s interface to the BNC and TIME, all access will be via the web interface, which allows full frequency and distributional charts, and limited KWIC displays (up to 100 words per entry) .

Access the corpus at http://www.americancorpus.org .
