This site allows you to quickly search more than 22 million words of text in nearly 10,000 General Conference talks from the 1850s to the current time. You can enter in any word or phrase and see a chart showing the frequency in each decade during the past 150 years, see the word or phrase in context, and also sort the results by the preceding and following words in the phrase.

The corpus was placed online in late 2005, and new features will be added on a regular basis. These will include the ability to find all collocates (nearby words) for a given word, including shifts in collocates over time. It will also be able to compare the style and phraseology of different speakers. For more information, please contact Mark Davies, Professor of Corpus Linguistics at Brigham Young University.
