[From Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 6, No. 0088. Thursday, 18 Jun 1992.]

Dear colleagues, Aarhus, Denmark, June 1992

 This message is to announce the first part of my YU-CORPUS (Yugoslav text
corpus) consisting of (mainly) contemporary fiction (prose) in Serbo-Croatian
with the main areas represented: Serbia, Croatia, Montenegro, and Bosnia-
Hercegovina.
 The corpus consists of 15 files containing together approximately 700 000
words.
 These files are available by

 ftp at aau.dk (129.142.17.240) in the directory /home/ftp/pub/slav

 First get the text files yu-corp.txt, which among other things tells
about the chosen ASCII standard, and yu-index.txt, which identifies the
available texts by author(s) and size.
 The corpus files are zipped and must thus be transferred in binary mode.

 All comments are welcome

*****************
LIMAS-corpus of written modern German, which has been
constructed following the same rules as have been used for the BROWN-corpus.
It consists of 1.1 millions of running words and is available on HD-floppies
either preindexed with WordCruncher containing the ASCII-file as well for
1,250.00 DM or as plain ASCII-file only for 1,000.00 DM (all including
mailing). Moreover we're offering vol. i - ix of the works of Immanuel Kant
on floppies and CD-ROM, a word-databank of German (300,000 entries) and a
morpheme dictionary of German.
If you send me your snail mail address I'll send you a list of the software
and data we're offering to the scientific community.
