Brown Corpus of Standard American English
The corpus consists of one million words of American English texts printed in 1961. The texts for the corpus were sampled from 15 different text categories to make the corpus a good standard reference. Much of its usefulness lies in the fact that the Brown corpus lay-out has been copied by other corpus compilers. The LOB corpus (British English) and the Kolhapur Corpus (Indian English) are two examples of corpora made to match the Brown corpus.
The Brown corpus consists of 500 texts, each consisting of 2,000 words. The texts were sampled from 15 different text categories. The number of texts in each category varies.
Six versions are available (differing in typography and format).
