parsed corpora?

I suspect I'm asking for a lot here but ...

Are there corpora available that are not only tagged but parsed?
Ideally a parse tree would be explicitly represented in the corpus.
The format of the parse tree doesn't matter nor does the grammar used
in parsing. In fact the size of the corpus isn't so important at this
point.

I am working on acquiring the meaning of unknown nouns and verbs based
the usage of the unknown in a text. Having a corpus of parsed
sentences would give me quite a jump start on testing some algorithms
I'm developing. I have a recently completed draft of a paper that
describes this approach if anyone is interested.

Thanks
Ted
