description
  • The Linguistic Data Consortium announces the availability of a Japanese language text corpus composed of business and financial news from two sources:

    * Approximately 30 million words of text have been made available from the morning edition of Nihon Kezai Shimbun, the largest Japanese financial news daily newspaper; the release this year covers all text that was published during 1994.
    The data was received at the LDC on nine-track magnetic tape; the character encoding was EBCDIC, but was standardized to EUC, which the LDC has chosen as its standard for Japanese.

    * A smaller part of the corpus comes from Dow Jones Telerate, which markets its Japanese Language Service. This is a financial newswire produced by Kyodo News Service; its recipients are primarily managers of Japanese owned corporations, or Japanese employees working in North American brokerage houses, banking, etc. The text is received at the LDC via a digital transmission service installed by Telerate; special software was written by the LDC to poll a central database and download articles individually. The character encoding is EUC.

    This corpus is available to LDC members only.
