Software/Corpus Tools

Please come to seminar with your laptop, prepared to access the following corpus tools. All of these are web-based, so there are no downloads required; however, some require advance registration.

Datenbank für gesprochenes Deutsch (Please register for an account–registration takes 1-2 business days, so please do so in advance!)

Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (No registration required. Just be ready to navigate to the homepage and we will take it from there)

Sketch Engine (Please register for 30-day free trial within 30 days of Oct. 11; in the long-term, subscriptions are affordable and many Universities purchase institutional subscriptions)
