We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate. In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have taken the trouble to respond to the query. To post to LINGUIST, use our convenient web form at http://linguistlist.org/LL/posttolinguist.cfm.

Date: 26-Apr-2011 From: Marina Santini <MarinaSantini.MSgmail.com> Subject: Genre-Specific Corpora E-mail this message to a friend Hi, I am doing some research in concept extraction from different types of texts or genres. I am looking for free research corpora (in English and in any other language) belonging to the following genres: 1) FAQs (I have already downloaded some small collections, but I would like to have a more comprehensive range of topics). 2) Chat logs transcripts (I have already downloaded the NPS Collection, 3 Codiac datasets and several smallish Many Eyes datasets) 3) Telephone conversation transcripts (missing) 4) Emails (I have already downloaded the Enron dataset and a couple of junk mail collections) 5) Twitter posts corpora (missing, apparently the Edinburgh's Twitter corpus is not available any more) 6) Corporate weblog corpora (missing) I will be glad to share all the links and related documentation, once I got all the genres in the list. Thanks in advance for your suggestions. Best Regards, Marina Santini Researcher at Artificial Solutions Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics Text/Corpus Linguistics This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $67,000.
