[Corpora-List] Corpora Digest, Vol 53, Issue 14

[Adam Kilgarriff]

Keely,

our tool WebBootCaT will do the scraping, and deliver a corpus, for you;
you can point it to the music-reviews sites Joel mentions (under 'advanced
options')  and then it will build a corpus from pages there.  You'll first
need to self-register, at http://www.sketchengine.co.uk

Regards

Adam
