Strathy Corpus of Canadian English

The Strathy Corpus of Canadian English is a collection of approximately 50 million words of written and spoken Canadian English, primarily covering the years 1960-2010. It includes newspapers, magazines, biographies, historical writings, academic theses and journals, transcripts of university classes and internet news. The corpus was designed by the first director of the Strathy Language Unit, W.C. Lougheed, in the early 1980s and continued to be developed by subsequent staff at the Unit until 2010. The original organizational scheme was based on the Brown-LOB Corpora. The corpus is available for language research.
