Probably not quite English, but resolutions of the General Assembly of the United Nations are each a single sentence by design. Given that they run into multiple pages, they can get pretty long. Even if you say a paragraphs is instead the unit of speech, it can still run into more than 100 words.<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
Does anyone have the information about the maximum English sentence lengths in the main genres, such as news reports, academic writings, speeches etc, ideally with publication references?<br>
<br>
With best regards<br>
