    Hello,

    I would like to evaluate a sentence boundary
    and abbreviation detection algorithm on as
    many different languages as possible.
    Therefore, I am searching for newspaper corpora
    that are either freely avaible or not too expensive.

    The languages in question should use the period
    as an ambiguous token denoting either a sentence
    boundary, an abbreviation or both.

    I am already using parts of the Wall Street Journal Corpus,
    the Neue Zürcher Zeitung and some corpora
    included in the Multilingual Corpus I from the European Corpus Initiative.
    I also know about TRACTOR.

    I would be very thankful for any suggestions.

    Best regards,
