Synchronic Corpora:
Linguists build synchronic corpora in order to observe language change
and language variation in corpus data, primarily for the purpose of providing a “snapshot” of
language use at a certain point or period of time. In such corpora, all the texts should be selected
from the same time period to account for varieties of the language synchronically present. The
International Corpus of English (ICE) is built for the synchronic analysis of the English spoken
in Britain, the USA, Australia, Canada, and other countries where English is the first language. It
consists of twenty corpora of one million words each, with samples of both written and spoken
English.
