Re: Farsi corpora (Yorick Wilks)

You may check this linguistic database as well:
http://pldb.ihcs.ac.ir/

Some of the texts are lemmatized, POS-tagged, and also phonetic labels are assigned.
You might find a sample here:
http://pldb.ihcs.ac.ir/newsearch2/Asar.aspx

Cheers,
Masood

I'll hereby coin a new "razor":

    "Never attribute more incompetence to bureaucracies
    than to the average voter."

And its converse:

    "Never attribute more wisdom to the average voter
    than to the average bureaucrat."

These are corollaries of the principles enunciated by P. T. Barnum

    "Nobody ever lost money by underestimating
    the intelligence of the American people."

and by General William Tecumseh Sherman

    "Vox populi, vox humbug."

John
