Australian Corpus of English (ACE)

The Australian Corpus of English (ACE) was compiled to match Australian data from 1986 with the American (Brown) and British (LOB) corpora of written English from the 1960s. It includes 500 samples of published texts taken from 15 different categories of nonfiction and fiction, including newspapers, reportage, editorials, reviews; magazines and journals: popular, academic; government and corporate documents; fiction monographs and short stories (both popular and literary). This collection was previously accessible online via the Australian National Corpus (AusNC), an initiative managed by Griffith University between 2012 and 2023.澳大利亚英语语料库（Australian Corpus of English, ACE）的编译初衷，是将1986年的澳大利亚英语数据与20世纪60年代的美国布朗（Brown）书面英语语料库、英国LOB书面英语语料库进行对标匹配。该语料库收录了500份已出版文本样本，涵盖15类非虚构与虚构作品类别，具体包括报纸、纪实报道、社论、评论；通俗与学术类杂志与期刊；政府与企业文档；虚构专著与短篇小说（涵盖通俗与文学两类）。该语料库此前可通过澳大利亚国家语料库（Australian National Corpus, AusNC）在线获取，该项目由格里菲斯大学于2012年至2023年间运营管理。
