Summary
The following table is loosely based on a comparable list in Meyer (2002: 142–149), with additions and deletions as necessary. Corpora are given in alphabetical order, based on the names most commonly used in the corpus-linguistic community (which is also usually the name by which they are introduced in the present study). The list does not include digitized text databases, such as newspaper archives and electronic dictionaries, which have also been used.
