- The World Wide Web is a mine of language data of unprecedented richness and ease of access. It is also the only viable source of "disposable" corpora, built ad hoc for a specific purpose (e.g. a translation or interpreting task). These corpora are essential resources for language professionals who routinely work with specialized languages, often in areas where neologisms and new terms are introduced at a fast pace and where standard reference corpora have to be complemented by easy-to-construct, focused, up-to-date text collections.
