[Corpora-List] Looking for Free Manually-verified Morphologically Segmented and Tagged Corpora

[Martin Mueller]

If you're looking for morphologically rich data, how about ancient Greek?
You can have my TEI encoded and morphologically annotated (and
disambiguated) corpus of Early Greek epic. The Perseus corpus contains a
lot of ancient Greek with partial morphological analysis, and a lot of
work is underway to disambiguate ambiguous surface forms.
