The Bank of English is the name of the COBUILD corpus, a collection of English texts. These are mainly British, but there is also American and Australian data included.
The majority of the texts are from written English, but there is also a large component of spoken data. The corpus totals 450 million running words as of 2004. It is held both at HarperCollins publishers and the University of Birmingham, where it can be accessed for research purposes.
