[Corpora-List] Free text corpora?

[Raphael Mudge]

Hi Xin,
A collection of plain text files of public domain books is available  
from Project Gutenberg:

http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page

You can also download Wikipedia and convert the data into plain text.

If you need to mark-up the corpus with a POS tagger, Stanford's POS  
tagger may work for you.
