We strongly recommend you read the corpus documentation (where available) to better understand the contents of these corpora. The corpora are lemmatised, part-of-speech tagged, and semantically tagged. You can undertake frequency analysis, collocation analysis, keyness analysis, concordancing, etc.

Thanks go to Chao Sun, Andressa Rodrigues Gomide, Andrew Hardie, Prihantoro, and Michael Lynch for help with CQPweb, and to Peter Collins, Xinyue Yao, and Annabelle Lukin for sharing their corpora.
