[Corpora-List] a corpus of journalistic data in British

[Paul Clough]

Hi Afida,

The METER (Measuring Text Reuse) corpus is a collection of around 1700
news stories from the Press Association (the UK's largest news agency)
and nine members of the British Press including both tabloid and quality
press, e.g. The Sun, Daily Mail, The Times, The Guardian. The corpus
consists of stories from two domains: court and law reporting, and
Showbusiness, both recurring and popular domains in the British Press.
The corpus has been encoded in an XML version of TEI, or available as
plain text. If you would like a copy then please email me. For more
information on the corpus and METER project, see:
http://www.dcs.shef.ac.uk/nlp/meter/

If you need a greater volume of text, you can buy copies of some British
dailies on CD, e.g. the Guardian.

Paul Clough.
