So did I. DEPRESSING.

In a casual chat with the developers, it seems that they are not really happy to see the "popularity" of LOCNESS in some countries, coz they are surprised to find that there are some people working with LOCNESS corpus though these people got the corpus NOT "via official channels". This, of course, is against the term in the agreement form, "no part of the corpus is to be distributed to a third party without specific authorization from CECL". Maybe this explains why some enquiries about the corpus were not entertained.

BTW, the corpus is not free, the license fee is 100 Euro per copy. Pls see the LOCNESS form below:

yet it is of great necessity for them to tell anyone who is interested in it about the ways to gain access to the corpus if possible. access to wider usership is good to it as well as the promotion of corpus linguistics at large. unfortuantely it has done nothing about it. it is pity! nonofficial channel is reasoanble and sensible under the context!!

以下是引用 xiaoz2005-9-9 21:10:34 的发言:


Without more suitable dataset, TEM-4/8 corpus can be compared with LOCNESS. I have even found people comparing CLEC with LOB and Brown!

Dr. Xiaoz ,
Do you mean (Without more suitable dataset) it's not good enough to compare CLEC with LOB? or Brown? Or ICE-GB? Thanks!
 
There is an over-30-year gap between CLEC and LOB/Brown, which is long enough for language change. ICE contains both spoken (60%) and written data but CLEC is only written. I think you can compare CLEC with the written part of ICE if you do not have more comparable data.

should be free of charge
Dr. Xiao, if that's free, how could we get a copy? Many of us are in need of LOCNESS.
 
要是再搞个团购就好了(不过团购确实够麻烦各位管理员的)!或者几个人凑点钱把它买下来共享也可以啊!

这样做应该是不可以的。有偿的话,也应该是跟原作者购买。

请问一下有LOCNESS的老师,British pupils' A-level essays 的codes 是什么?
我拿到的LOCNESS没有subcorpus,全都在一个文档,只知道ICLE-US的是美国大学生作文,其他的ESME,ESLE等都不清楚,不好分辨。
麻烦手头有这个语料的老师同学帮忙解释一下,非常感谢!:)
