Linguistics Data Consortium pre-2016 corpus request (MIT only)

Please read the following before placing a request.

This form is only for pre-2016 LDC corpora purchase requests by current members of the MIT community.

LDC data 2016 and later is available for download:

1. Register first using the link on our LDC guide if you haven’t already
2. After your account is approved you’ll be able to login to the LDC web site under “My Account“
3. Go to the DOWNLOADS link under the Account Options tab to access the files

The MIT Libraries will make every effort to obtain the corpus you need at no cost to you, but we have a limited budget for purchasing corpora and they can be expensive. Filling out this form does not guarantee purchase.

Time: Typical delivery time is 5-7 business days – this can vary based on corpora cost and license(s), so some may take longer.

All fields are required unless otherwise noted.
