Sketch Engine is a tool that helps you explore how language works. It analyses real texts (‘text corpora’) of billions of words to see how often words are used and what is rare, unusual or emerging usage.
Useful for linguists, lexicographers, editors, translators, students, teachers and publishers, Sketch Engine contains 400 ready-to-use corpora in 85+ languages, each with up to 20 billion words.
EUR-Lex was added as a text corpus in 2016. You can search for matching sentences and short paragraphs. This, and the vast range of subjects covered makes the EUR-Lex corpus a great resource for anyone looking for translation examples in multiple languages.
You get a 30-day free trial when you register. That gives you free access to the all Sketch Engine’s features, including a thesaurus and keyword lists.
