A state-of-art 800,000 word treebank (parsed corpus) of spoken British English, It contains more than 400,000 words from ICE-GB (collected in the early 1990s) and 400,000 words from the London-Lund Corpus (late 1960s-early 1980s). 

The orthographic transcriptions have been normalised and annotated according to the same criteria. DCPSE is an incomparable resource for examining recent change in the grammar of spoken English. 

ICE-GB contains:

• At least 800,000 words (87,000 trees) of fully-parsed and annotated spoken British English from the 1950s to 1990s.
• Sociolinguistic information on texts, speakers and authors.
• Bundled with ICECUP 3.1 exploration software designed for parsed corpora. 

WHAT IS SPECIAL ABOUT DCPSE?

DCPSE is fully grammatically analysed to the same standard as ICE-GB. All sentences in the corpus have been given a detailed parse tree. 

DCPSE contains precisely 87,188 parse trees, comprising 885,436 words of English. The entire material is spoken. 

This is the biggest single collection of parsed and checked orthographically transcribed spoken English material anywhere. 

DCPSE has been fully checked. It was checked by linguists at several stages in its completion, using both a traditional ‘post-checking’ strategy and also by cross-sectional error-based searches. We do not believe that the analysis in the corpus is perfect, but it is not systematically imperfect - unlike the best parser output. 

DCPSE comes complete with ICECUP. ICECUP allows you to perform a variety of different queries, including using the parse analysis in the corpus to construct Fuzzy Tree Fragments to search the corpus.
