Linguistic Data Consortium

The University of Toronto is a subscriber to the Linguistic Data Consortium which licenses language corpora and other language resources. For more information about the LDC, please visit their website. 

The following is a list of corpora that U of T has licensed from the LDC over the years. These may be downloaded by U of T students, staff, and faculty. After clicking one of the links you must review the terms of use before accessing the data. A few corpora are too large for download; please contact us to access these datasets.

This list does not include all corpora available from LDC, so we encourage you to also browse the full list of corpora on the LDC website. If LDC offers a corpus you need but which is not listed on this page, please get in touch with us, as we may be able to obtain it on your behalf.
