A corpus is a collection of texts on a computer - basically a database of language. Every word in a corpus is tagged by its formal category (e.g. singular common noun, modal auxiliary verb) so that linguists can distinguish usage patterns and analyse the results.
There are a couple of corpora available freely online: The British National Corpus (http://www.natcorp.ox.ac.uk/) and the Corpus of American English (http://www.americancorpus.org/).
