ICE-GB is a fully parsed corpus of adult British English from the 1990s. It
contains 300 spoken texts and 200 written texts - a total of 1 million
words. The texts are distributed across 32 categories, including private
conversations, telephone calls, court proceedings, broadcasts, social
letters, examination scripts, and academic writing.
ICE-GB has been grammatically analysed at wordclass level, and at the
function and category levels. The analyses are presented as labelled
syntactic trees - 83,419 trees in total.
The corpus is distributed with its own dedicated retrieval software, ICECUP.
ICE-GB and ICECUP are available now on CD-ROM.
A Sample Corpus of ten parsed texts, together with ICECUP, may be downloaded
free from our website, at http://www.ucl.ac.uk/english-usage/
