There's also access to the Google Books Corpus of 155 billion words! As mentioned in class.... for example we could compare "native American" with "American Indian" to see which is used more today....
Have a nice weekend

"These corpora were created by Mark Davies, Professor of Linguistics at Brigham Young University. They have many different uses, including: finding out how native speakers actually speak and write; looking at language variation and change; finding the frequency of words, phrases, and collocates; and designing authentic language teaching materials and resources."
