Linguistic Data Consortium

Summary:

Georgetown University Library is a Linguistic Data Consortium (LDC) member and has access to linguistic corpora from 2003 to the present. Users must register and create an account with the LDC using their Georgetown email. Access to download datasets will be granted within two business days once the user account is verified. See this FAQ for more information about creating a user account. After the account is approved, corpora can be downloaded from the LDC catalog.

For offline analysis, the Library also has a large number of the licensed corpora available on CD, DVD, or hard drive which can be requested through HoyaSearch.
