[Corpora-List] native English corpus: which variety?

[Charles Hall]

Which variety of English are you especially interested in? It's becoming clearer that there are, in spite of earlier predictions to the contrary, significant differences among the native varieties even within a single genre.

Dear colleagues,

 I am looking for a corpus of argumentative essays written by native speakers (university students) of English. I would prefer a free corpus but the corpus should definitely include argumentative writings. Would anyone help?

  Thanks a lot.
