Corpora of Written Language
Mannheimer Morgen (mmm)
This corpus contains an extraordinary large number of newspaper articles, which have been acquired in electronic form from the publishing company of the daily newspaper Mannheimer Morgen (without advertisement section). The complete text material has been fully automatically edited at the IDS. It is characteristic for such so-called monitor corpora, that their composition changes over time, because, in this case, more recent newspaper articles are added on a regular basis.
Until 1997, missing volumes and larger deviations in the number of texts and word forms from year to year are due to the fact, that only those newspaper articles were acquired, which had been available as fully automatically processed data at the beginning of the data acquisition via modem (beginning of 1995) on the one hand. On the other hand, the change of the publisher`s computer system in 1997 caused further gaps in the inventory. Apart from that, the inventory is generously made available also for external users. The newspaper editions of the Mannheimer Morgen are contained completely in the corpora since 1998.
Please keep in mind, that the date listed in the bibliography is the date of the newspaper issue, for which the particular article had been scheduled. Actually, this particular article could have been published in a different issue, that is, at a different publication date.
