    Subject: [Corpora-List] BNC word list

    Dear everyone,

    A couple of weeks ago I asked whether anybody could point me in the
    direction of a word list of the BNC. I had a few answers to that and
    followed up some trails but the word lists I found were all restricted
    in some way. I tried to load the whole BNC into WordSmith and create my
    own version but I didn't manage to create a word list bigger than 300
    and something thousand words, which can't be all the words of the BNC
    (although I played around with the settings).

    So I am just trying again and asking whether anyone knows of the
    existence of a word list with the full 940.000 words from the BNC.

    Many thanks,
    Sylvana Krausse
