Obtaining the BNC
The ordering procedure and costs vary between the different BNC products. Please read the
instructions and follow the links (to the left or below) for the product you want to
order. Please note that the OUCS acts on behalf of the BNC Consortium and can only sell the
corpus directly to the end user. We cannot accept orders from resellers or agents.
All BNC products are distributed under a user licence (also available in pdf-format). Please read it carefully before ordering.
We currently sell the following products:
- BNC XML Edition on DVD:
the full corpus with
about 100 million words. It is available with a personal or institutional licence. The two DVD-ROMs
include full documentation, the corpus itself, a set of compiled
Xaira indexes for use on any platform, and a new version of the Xaira
searching software customized for use with the BNC.
