There have been authors like J. Sinclair  or J. Torruella and J. Llisterri, who have proposed different classification for different corpuses. For stablishing corpuses, it has to have account for some characteristics:

• Modality of language
• The size of texts
• The age which texts have
• The treatment applied to the corpus: information…

 Often, these criteria come determined by the purpose that is chased by the corpus:

• the study of the work of an author
• the description of a language in general
• sublanguage or linguistic concrete aspect
•  the obtaining of a certain commercial product
