Black abolitionists made an indelible mark on nineteenth century Britain.

The last two decades have seen corpus resources grow in scale, breadth, representativeness and linguistic variety. Thus an online survey of primarily English language corpora documents around 100 publicly-available corpora. Corpora are sources of three types of evidence: discovery (evidence of unknown phenomena), distribution (relative proportions of phenomena), and interaction (how distributions may correlate or interact).
