Diachronic Corpus of Present-Day Spoken English

The DCPSE is a corpus of spoken British English covering the period between 1960 and 2000. It contains 885,436 words, fully-parsed and annotated (87,000 trees).

This corpus contains orthographic transcriptions of conversations, discussions, interviews or speeches. It consists of approximatively:
- 400,000 words from the International Corpus of English (ICE-GB), collected in the early 1990s (the ICE-GB is distributed through the ELRA catalogue under reference W0021)
- 400,000 words from the London-Lund Corpus, collected between the late 1960s and the early 1980s (see SD153 in the Universal Catalogue for a full description).

The ICE-GB was used as a gold standard for the parsing of DCPSE.
