The British National Corpus (BNC) is a 100-million-word text corpus of samples of written and spoken English from a wide range of sources.[1] The corpus covers British English of the late 20th century from a wide variety of genres, with the intention that it be a representative sample of spoken and written British English of that time. It is used in corpus linguistics for analysis of corpora.
