For many of the languages of the world, such corpora are not readily available, but significant quantities of text are available on the World Wide Web. We describe and compare two approaches to gathering language-specific corpora from this resource, and show that the use of a commercial search engine as a first stage leads to good results.enText corporaText collectionWeb-crawlingTwo approaches to gathering text corpora from the WorldWideWebConference PresentationBotha, G., & Barnard, E.
