You must use your @stud.uni-bamberg.de or @uni-bamberg.de e-mail when signing up. If you encounter any problems, please contact Fabian Vetter.

    • Corpora @ SketchEngine.eu URL

      The SketchEngine is a commercial corpus interface which was primarily developed with the needs of lexicographers in mind. What's unique about SE is that it features some (sadly rather opaque) algorithms for investigating how words are used in context. The functions are similar to the collocations function in CQPweb, but more intuitive. You can use SE to access a wide range of corpora (including the BNC and parallel corpora such as OPUS).

      If you require access, please contact Fabian Vetter or Julia Schlüter.

    • Corpora @ Uni Lancaster (CQPweb) URL

      A campus licence for the COCA, COHA, BNC, GloWbE, NOW, Movies, TV and other corpora is available now. All students with a free user account for the corpora have advanced access rights when logging in on campus. This also works with a VPN connection from home.
