[Corpora-List] Chinese texts (Gemma Boleda)

[Xiaolin Wang]

Dear Boleda:



I'm a PhD candidate in China. As for the novels (literary 
texts), there are many web novels by anonymous writers which 
meet your requirement. They are very popular nowadays and 
have a lot of fans. Usually they consist of more than a 
hundred episodes, so the length is not a problem. If you 
need them, I might download some and send you.



    Sincerely,



Xiaolin Wang

>Dear members,

>I am looking for a couple of texts in Chinese that have the 
>properties
>listed below. Finding them is more difficult than I had 
>foreseen (e.g.,
>I have checked the Gutenberg project, but most texts are in 
>classical
>Chinese; those that are not, for instance those by Lu Xun, 
>are too short
>for my purposes). Any pointers would be appreciated.

>The texts should be:

>- freely available for research purposes;
>- written in modern Chinese;
>- by a single author (no translations);
>- long (the longer, the better), at least 100 thousand 
>words;

>Any topic/genre would do; ideally, I'd like to have at 
>least one novel
>and one non-literary piece (e.g., a textbook on economy or 
>history).

>Thank you,
