+ American National Corpus

Von der Website http://americannationalcorpus.org/:

The American National Corpus (ANC) project is fostering the development of a corpus comparable to the British National Corpus (BNC), covering American English. Corpus-analytic work has demonstrated that the BNC is inappropriate for the study of American English, due to the numerous differences in use of the language. Creation of a corpus of American English will significantly contribute to language and linguistic research, as well as provide a rich national resource for use in education at all levels.
