Description:		This corpus was produced within the NEMLAR project (http://www.nemlar.org). Two other resources, produced within the same project, are also available: NEMLAR Broadcast News Speech Corpus (ELRA-S0219) and the NEMLAR Speech Synthesis Corpus (ELRA-S0220).The NEMLAR Written Corpus consists of about 500,000 words of Arabic text from 13 different categories, aiming to achieve a well-balanced corpus that offers a representation of the variety in syntactic, semantic and pragmatic features of modern Arabic language. The different categories are:•Political news: 48,000 words•Political debate: 30,000 words•Islamic text (Preaching and others): 29,000 words•Phrases of common words: 8,500 words•Text from broadcast news: 5,500 words•Business: 20,000 words•Arabic literature: 30,000 words•General news: 100,000 words•Interviews: 56,000 words•Scientific press: 50,000 words•Sports press: 50,000 words•Dictionary entries explanation: 52,000 words•Legal domain text: 21,000 wordsThe time span of the data included goes from late 1990’s to 2005.The corpus is provided in 4 different versions:•Raw text•Fully vowelized text•Text with Arabic lexical analysis•Text with Arabic POS-tagsDiacritics, lexical analysis and POS-tags were generated by RDI’s tool Fassieh©. The accuracy of the automatic analysis is around 95%. To reach about the 99% accuracy rate as defined for this corpus, the linguists used the visual revision mode of Fassieh© where the linguist has to either approve the 1st most likely analysis (most of the time) or select another one manually (in the 4% minority of the cases).The database is distributed on 1 ISO 9660 CD-ROM volume. It has been validated by an external partner and a validation report is provided.
