I am looking for a public corpus of about 200,000 words containing
current written texts of various genres. I need this for text
analysis in an Introduction to Linguistics class I will be teaching
this summer. Could anyone help me?

I apologize for burdening the readers with this request; This topic must have
been dealt with on this list before.

I would like a corpus that would be transferable via Internet, ftp, or www and
one that my students and I could quote from freely in our research.

Thanks.

Ali
