[Corpora-List] Format for context info

[hans christensen]

John and Kilian,
Thanks a lot for your replies. I think for now I'll just go for the simple
txt but I'll definitely look into the json for future updates (for now I'm
just working on the basic n-grams, but I'm researching more advanced
models).
Thanks,
Hans
