Joel,
thanks. Unfortunately, many of the links on your page are indeed dead.
But I'll post a summary of all the responses I got so far to the list,
so you can update your link list, too.
Of course, I searched the archives (and the web) before posting to
corpora list but the responses to those earlier posts were of limited
use only for my particular task. Also, I wanted to find out if, in the
meantime, sentence splitters had been developed which could be trained
on particular corpora in an language-independent manner (more on this in
my summary).
Cheers,
Armin
