[Corpora-List] max sentence legnths

[Alexandre Rafalovitch]

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.

Regards,
   Alex.
