A state-of-art one-million word treebank (parsed corpus) of British English, consisting of many categories of transcribed speech and writing, complete with the latest ICECUP software and help files. Developed for research and teaching.

ICE-GB contains:

• One million words of spoken and written British English from the 1990s.
• Tagged, parsed and checked.
• Bundled with ICECUP 3.1 exploration software designed for parsed corpora.

WHAT IS SPECIAL ABOUT ICE-GB?

ICE-GB is fully grammatically analysed. Like all the ICE corpora, ICE-GB consists of a million words of spoken and written English and adheres to the common corpus design. 200 written and 300 spoken texts make up the million words. Every text is grammatically annotated, permitting complex and detailed searches across the whole corpus. 

ICE-GB contains 83,394 parse trees, including 59,640 in the spoken part of the corpus. This is the biggest collection of parsed spoken material anywhere with the exception of DCPSE (which only contains spoken material). 

ICE-GB has been fully checked. It was checked by linguists at several stages in its completion. This means it is a better source for research than the output of parsing, where the parsers introduce a systematic bias. 

ICE-GB 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. 

The digitised speech recordings of the spoken part of the corpus, aligned with the text are also available at additional cost. They allows researchers to play back the original source of the text that they can see on their screen.
