[Corpora-List] Newspaper Corpora

[Jan Strunk]

Hello,

I would like to evaluate a sentence boundary
and abbreviation detection algorithm on as
many different languages as possible.
Therefore, I am searching for newspaper corpora
that are either freely avaible or not too expensive.

The languages in question should use the period
as an ambiguous token denoting either a sentence
boundary, an abbreviation or both.

I am already using parts of the Wall Street Journal Corpus,
the Neue Zürcher Zeitung and some corpora
included in the Multilingual Corpus I from the European Corpus Initiative.
I also know about TRACTOR.

I would be very thankful for any suggestions.

Best regards,
