[Corpora-List] Standard defenition for Comparable corpora

[S. Bakhshaei]

Thanks all,

But I am actually looking for some classification like this:
comparable corpora are defined as collection of:

1. texts that are written about a same event, news, ...
2. texts that are written about a same topic in a same period of time,
3. texts that only have same topic,

....

Are you aware of this kind of classification?
Thank you,
