ELFA (English as a Lingua Franca in the Academia) investigates English as it is currently used by speakers with different mother tongues.

The Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA) is the only large, genre-balanced corpus of American English. COCA is probably the most widely-used corpus of English.

A 100 million word collection of samples of written and spoken language from a wide range of sources, designed to represent a wide cross-section of current British English, both spoken and written.

This corpus contains high-quality recordings of conversational American English speech from 40 speakers in Columbus, OH, USA. The speech has been orthographically transcribed and phonetically labeled. Currently the audio files and transcriptions for 20 talkers are available.

Contains two significant language corpora, the Michigan Corpus of Spoken Academic English (MICASE), and the Michigan Corpus of Upper-Level Student Papers (MICUSP). Use these historically important collections for linguistic analysis.

VOICE comprises naturally occurring, non-scripted face-to-face interactions in English as a lingua franca (ELF). The ELF interactions recorded cover a range of different speech events in terms of domain, function, and participant roles and relationships.

Contains an extensive list of corpora and electronic texts, browsable by subject language, linguistic subfield, and language family.

Contains links to anything to do with the use of language corpora. The links are categorised and annotated to facilitate browsing and searching.

CoRD is an open-access online resource through which academic corpus compilers can make available basic information about their corpora.
