Description:		*Introduction* English Gigaword Second Edition was produced by the Linguistic Data Consortium (LDC) and contains approximately 2.3 billion words of English newswire text data that has been acquired over several years by LDC. This edition includes all of the contents in the first edition, English Gigaword (LDC2003T05), as well as new data from July 2002 through December 2004 from all four sources in the first edition and a new source, the Central News Agency of Taiwan, English Service. This second addition also includes a three-letter language code in the source abbreviations, and minor formatting improvements (mostly line-wrapping). *Data* Here is a table showing the five distinct international sources of English newswire included in this release along with the breakdown of their contents in numbers of documents and K-words (thousands of words): Source Abbreviation Documents K-words Agence France-Presse, English Service (afp_eng) 1,202,139 337,792 Associated Press Worldstream, English Service (apw_eng) 1,975,456 736,518 Central News Agency of Taiwan, English Service (cna_eng) 57,999 15,039 The New York Times Newswire Service (nyt_eng) 1,446,256 1,026,533 The Xinhua News Agency, English Service (xin_eng) 1,017,150 201,346 Totals 5,699,000 2,317,228 All the data is organized into zipped files. All text data are presented in SGML form, using a very simple, minimal markup structure; all text consists of printable ASCII and whitespace. Documents are sorted into four different types: * Story: a report composed of paragraphs and full sentences; most common * Multi: unrelated "blurbs" of several news items * Advis: advisories directed at news editors and not intended for publication/general audience * Other: intended for publication but not paragraphs or sentences; these are things like lists of sports scores, stock prices, temperatures around the world, etc. *Samples* For an example of the data in this corpus, please view this sample (SGML). *Updates* None at this time.
