Linguistics

Through a subscription to the Linguistics Data Consortium, UT students, faculty and staff have access to all LDC corpora released in  in 2017 and later and dozens of LDC corpora released previously. 

How do I access LDC Corpora?  

1. First create an LDC account which prompts us to upgrade it to a UT authorized User account.
2. Search or browse the LDC Catalog to identify corpora of interest and click the LDC Corpus number for more information.
3. Look to the bottom left of each catalog entry to see if it is available as a download.
4. For those corpora that are only available on physical media, contact me to arrange access.
5. In some cases you may need to sign an individual user license prior to access.
