  • user corpus [ corpus-types ]

    a corpus created by a user. Users can create corpora by uploading their own data or using Sketch Engine to collect data from the Web. User corpora are created as private. No other user can access them. However, users can grant access to the corpus to individually selected users. This is called sharing. User corpora can never be made completely public. see also Create a corpus by uploading files Create a corpus from the web Share a corpus with other users
