Corpora is a unified interface for accessing databases from corpus-based and sociolinguistic research. It brings together collections of linguistic data and related metadata that allow users to study language use in various social, communicative, and historical contexts. Individual documents may be supplemented with information about the circumstances of their creation and the social or linguistic characteristics of the participants in the communication.
From the system it is possible to navigate to individual platforms which offer their own viewing and search options, as well as other features tailored to the nature of the data they provide.
