[Corpora-List] ask for very large, well-balanced corpus

[Lushan Han]

Dear all,

Does anyone know where or how I can get a well-balanced corpus of modern
English, such as BNC, but with a much larger size? I hope it can have at
least 1 billion words. I tried to assemble a corpus from Wikipedia articles
but it turned out that such a corpus is not balanced. Wikipedia contains
many repetitions of the same type of articles, for example, films or birds.

A Web corpus should be okay for my purpose as long as it was harvested
from balanced domains.


Thanks,

Lushan Han
