Counting on Google Books; Chronicle of Higher Education, 12/16/10

Geoffrey Nunberg, Chronicle of Higher Education; Counting on Google Books:

"Scholars can't download the entire corpus right now, but the impediments are legal and commercial rather than technological. (Google could make available a corpus of all the public-domain works published through 1922 without raising any copyright issues, but it has decided not to do that.) In the meantime, scholars have access to the corpus via the Web sites Ngrams.GoogleLabs.com, and culturomics.org."
