Newspaper article corpora<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>

<P><FONT size=2>> Does anyone know of corpora devoted to English
language<BR>> newspaper articles (possibly available online)? I saw
that<BR>> Reuters has developed one, but there are a few hurdles to<BR>>
navigate in order to access it.<BR><BR>The BNC has about 10-11 million words
from newspapers, and is available<BR>as part of the VIEW site (<A
href="http://view.byu.edu">http://view.byu.edu</A>).<BR><BR>This site also
allows you to search just one part of the 100 million<BR>word corpus (i.e. just
the newspapers), so this may be a useful feature<BR>for you. Finally, you can
even zero in on just sub-registers of<BR>newspapers (broadsheet, tabloid, sports
reporting, etc).<BR><BR>Best,<BR><BR>Mark
