Most of the
information at this website deals with data from the COCA
corpus. You might also be interested in the
n-grams data from the 14
billion word
iWeb
corpus. |
These n-grams are based on the largest publicly-available, genre-balanced corpus
of English -- the one billion word Corpus of
Contemporary American English (COCA). With this n-grams data (2,
3, 4, 5-word sequences, with their frequency), you can carry
out powerful queries offline -- without needing to access the
corpus via the web interface.
