Subject:Needs Test Corpus with Phrase Breaks

Researchers at the Universities of Leeds and Jordan are looking for a
small test corpus (5000+ words) of transcribed Modern Standard Arabic (MSA)
annotated with PHRASE BREAKS. The latter should delineate well-formed,
meaningful chunks and should not represent disfluencies. To illustrate the
kind of thing we are looking for, here is
a single MSA sentence of 48 words:
http://www.comp.leeds.ac.uk/**claireb/msaSentence.pdf<http://www.comp.leeds.ac.uk/claireb/msaSentence.pdf>

In this example, only two words are followed by punctuation - and we
have identified these as breaks. In addition, we have also tagged a few
other words as likely boundary locations. If you know of or have such a
resource, we would love to hear from you.

Thanks,
