Does WordSmith come with a corpus?
No. I cannot legally supply you with a body of texts. But you can easily build up your own using Internet resources. There are lots of corpora, some of which are freely accessible, others can be purchased cheaply, and others are extremely expensive. Try a google search on “test corpus”. Or visit newspaper web sites. My registration code didn’t work… The beta version of WS4 uses the name “temporary use” (not your own name or “temporary user”) and a code supplied in the readme.txt file. Run updater.exe after installation to register. For WS3 registration problems contact Oxford University Press.
