COCA is probably the most widely-used corpus of English, and it is related to other corpora from English-Corpora.org, which offer unparalleled insight into variation in English. The corpus contains more than one billion words of text (25+ million words each year 1990-2019) from eight genres: spoken, fiction, popular magazines, newspapers, academic texts, TV and movies subtitles, blogs, and other web pages. www.english-corpora.org/coca/ www.wordfrequency.info/samples.asp
