CORPUS resource

Question

I am designing an Automatic text summarizer. One of the major modules in this project requires TRAINING CORPUS. Can someone please help me out by providing TRAINING CORPUS or referring some link to download it. Thanks in anticipation

Answer 1

See How to Write a Spelling Corrector by Norvig. He mentions Project Gutenberg, Wiktionary, British National Corpus, Birkbeck spelling error corpus. There's also Brown Corpus.

Answer 2

Here are some Text summarization resources, including corpora. The Stanford list of NLP/Corpus linguistics resources may also help.
