ENGLISH CONTEMPORARY CORPORA

Abstract

A linguistic corpus is a collection of texts created in accordance with certain principles (machine-readable, unified, structured, marked up, philologically competent) and provided with a specialized search engine. The linguistic corpus can include both written texts (newspaper, magazine articles and literary works) and spoken transcripts of radio and television programs. Depending on the purpose of its creation, the corpus may include texts of one or more authors of different literary genres, written in a certain historical period. The entire array of texts in the corpus is systematized. The corpus records the order of each word in the sentence in relation to other words and also takes into account the frequency of its use in this corpus
