BERGEN Versions of the BROWN Corpus.

Produced by:
Norwegian Computing Centre for the Humanities,
Allegt. 27,
N-5007 Bergen,
Norway

The original corpus is transformed to upper and lower case letters and a
minimum of special codes.

There are two versions of the corpus.

Text format I:
Typographical information is preserved; the same line division is used as
in the original version exept that words at the end of lines are
never divided.

Text format II:
Typographical information is removed, the line division is new. Each line
has a reference consisting of three items. The first two give the Brown
Corpus line identification of the first word on the line. The last item,
is the word number of the first word on the line in the original Brown 
corpus line.

Changes from the original Brown Corpus codes:
