[Corpora-List] Newspaper Corpora

[Tony Rose]

You could also try the Reuters Corpus:

http://about.reuters.com/researchandstandards/corpus/

It's an archive of some 800,000 English language news stories, is freely
available, and marked up in XML (NewsML in fact).

  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,

  Jan Strunk
