Do any of you know of good well-rounded American corpora I can use for my
Master's thesis on collocations? I would like a corpus that includes
both speech and written language from a variety of genres (newspapers,
radio, film, magazines, novels, etc.)

Also, I am looking for easy-to-use, fairly inexpensive concordances to
use with the corpora. If the concordances could perform statistical
analyses, that would be even better. If you have any suggestions, I would
greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!
Sincerely,
Jennifer Lai
