Expanded help files (Sep 2024)
(corpora used,
corrections,
+/- sections)
In most cases, the examples in
these linked pages comes from the Corpus of Contemporary American English
( COCA), since it is the most widely used of the corpora from English-Corpora.org
(and probably the most widely-used online corpus anywhere).
A number of examples also come from
COHA (historical),
GloWbE (dialects), and
NOW (very large and recent). But all of the information in these help files should
be applicable to any of the 17 corpora at English-Corpora.org.

Please note that these pages were recently released (in September
2024), and there are probably still some errors, since English-Corpora.org has
been created and is run by just one person. If you find anything that needs to be corrected, please
email us. Thanks.

(Note that
Word Sketch and

COCA and
iWeb, and

Click on PDF guides and
Videos in the header above for
even more detailed information on features of the corpora. Overall, there are
