Advanced. Eleven. ( ˘ ³˘)♥ The Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA) is a useful tool for determining collocations, usage, synonyms and much more. Essentially it is a searchable database of language samples of contemporary English, both American and British. If you are interested in English words and the patterns in which a word occurs, I believe that this resource will be invaluable for you in your teaching, learning, and research.
ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ Google’s nGram Viewer is an amazing tool that lets you search word frequencies over the history of publishing. It searches Google’s collection of 5 million books (about 500 billion words) and calculates how many times a word appears in any given year. The tool tracks the change in the use or popularity of different words or terms over time.
