Body tags look like this example:

 

<s n="130"><w DT0>Most <w NN2>Churches <w AJ0>Unprepared <w PRP>for <w NN2>Aids

</head>

<p>

<s n="131"><c PUQ>&bquo;<w DT0>Most <w NN2>churches <w VBB>are <w AV0>completely <w AJ0>unprepared

<w PRF>of <w AT0>the <w NN1>congregation <w VBZ>is <w VVN>infected <w PRP>with <w NP0>HIV <w CJC>or

<w VVG-AJ0>dying <w PRP>with <w NN1>AIDS<c PUN>, <w CJS>even though <w DT0>this <w VBZ>is

<w AV0>increasingly <w AJ0>common<c PUN>.<c PUQ>&equo;

<w NN2>cities<c PUN>.

 

Everything here within <> brackets is a body tag.

 

In the XML edition you get more markup:

<w c5="NP0" hw="tony" pos="SUBST">Tony</w><c c5="PUN">, </c><w c5="CJC" hw="and" pos="CONJ">and </w><w c5="DPS" hw="he" pos="PRON">his </w><w c5="NN1" hw="mum" pos="SUBST">Mum</w><c c5="PUN">,

 

hw= head word -- lemmatisation; pos=part of speech.

 

 

In Internet Explorer it should look something like this:

 

BNC_XML_in_IE

... you can see the sentence structure and each word occupies a different line in XML.
