Corpus of Global Web-Based English (GloWbE) First-time users must register for an account to benefit from UBC's academic license. Use this link to create a new account affiliated with UBC. UBC faculty and graduate students may also request access to a downloadable version of GloWbE. The corpus of Global Web-based English (GloWbE; pronounced “globe”) allows researchers to carry out comparisons between different varieties of English. GloWbE is related to many other corpora of English available from English-Corpora.org (formerly known as the “BYU Corpora”), which offer unparalleled insight into variation in English. GloWbE contains about 1.9 billion words of text from twenty different countries from 2012-2013. A downloadable version of GloWbE is also available for faculty and graduate student research from Abacus, UBC Library's data repository. |
