Beware that all this TXT stuff may sometimes look scrambled when viewed through some web browsers, but will be just fine when downloaded on your client.

Additional Infos.

All the corpora are (and will remain) freely available online: you are legally entitled to use them, and it's enough that you recognise whence your data came from. All corpora are encoded in CQP format and are accessed through the Corpus Query Workbench of IMS Stuttgart (there is a PS, PDF or HTML manual online at the IMS site).
