Dear Corpora members,
Is anybody aware of any corpora focussing on the topic of sustainability? Possibly with different genres of texts, but not necessarily. Thank you!

If you do not find a ready-made corpus, you could submit keywords related to the topic to Sketch Engine, and it will find relevant texts for you and process them into a corpus. It normally only takes a couple of minutes to build a corpus of a million words. A few more minutes for a larger corpus. Best, Ondřej

Also, if you do not find a ready-made corpus, you can create a "Virtual https://www.english-corpora.org/help/virtual-corpora.pdf Corpus https://www.english-corpora.org/files/virtual-corpora-quick-overview.pdf" using the *NOW Corpus https://www.english-corpora.org/now/* at English-Corpora.org, and it will find relevant texts for you and process them into a corpus. It normally only takes about *3-4 seconds* to build a corpus of several million words.
The *NOW Corpus https://www.english-corpora.org/now/* is currently 16.8 billion words in size, and it grows by about 6-7 million words each day (about 180-200 million words each month). It is probably the most useful large, structured corpus for looking at recent topics, and it has been used for a wide range of studies in many different fields.
The 16.8 billion word NOW Corpus is also the only large corpus that allows you to quickly and easily find the frequency of words and phrases at the level of years, months, and also individual days https://www.english-corpora.org/now/files/now-monitor-corpus-english.pdf, for the period 2010 - yesterday.
Best,
Mark Davies
