corpus

Writings gathered together

A corpus is a body of work—the collected writings of an author, or all documents relating to a subject: the Shakespearean corpus, a corpus of medieval texts.

In linguistics, a corpus is a large organized collection of texts used to study language patterns.

In anatomy, corpus names body structures: corpus callosum, corpus luteum.

The legal phrase habeas corpus means "produce the body"—a protection against unlawful detention.

Plural: corpora or corpuses.
