Linguistics and English Language at the University of Manchester has a world-class set of resources for linguistic research and teaching.
Many web-based services will work fine off-campus. Those web services authenticated from a campus IP address will work if you install the VPN (‘virtual private network’) client on a home computer. However, programs which don’t use a browser are not accessible from outside the university, and stored corpora only if you use the VPN.
This set of pages is permanently under construction.
