Textcorpora are being used in most current lexicographic projects. Applied linguistic research is another field where textcorpora are welcome as an inexhaustible source of empirical information, a polygon for testing various linguistic tools – spell-checkers, OCRs, machine translation systems, NLP systems, etc.

Comparablecorpora are made up of texts in different languages that may be related in various ways, but are not translations of each other. They may have nothing in common at all, or be on the same subject, of the same genre, or from the same chronological period, etc.
2013, “Introduction”, in Gerry Knowles, Briony Williams, L[ita] Taylor, editors,A Corpus of Formal British English Speech: The Lancaster/IBM Spoken English Corpus, Abingdon, Oxon.; New York, N.Y.:Routledge,→ISBN, page 1:
The Lancaster/IBM Spoken EnglishCorpus began in September 1984 as part of a research project into the automatic assignment of intonation[…] The original design of thecorpus was determined by the need to provide data for research into speech synthesis. As a result, unlike most othercorpora currently being used in the computational linguistics field, the SEC exists in several forms.[…] However, whatever the original motivation for compiling acorpus, it quickly becomes an object of interest in its own right. New users find it valuable for applications for which it was not designed.

About a hundred years ago in Germany, the publishing ofcorpuses of the ancient Greek coinages was started.[…] The significance of those, and some othercorpuses is exclusive, because they allowed an enormous amount of numismatic material kept in museum and private collections all over the world, to be studied and systematized.
