<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am new to the world of Corpora and have
recently been recruited to locate sources of Corpora for a new library in
development by Microsoft. They are currently licensing English language text
data covering any subject to use for linguistic software, such as grammar
checkers. Could anyone give me a few pointers toward any type of corpora
that could be available for use by Microsoft? </FONT></DIV>
