Hi,

Can anyone tell me whether there are freely accessible German corpora, or
whether there is another way to find out certain statistical aspects of German
texts?

I am particularly interested in the distributions of (the first few words of)
sentences that begin with a determiner.

If anyone could point me to a German corpus with some (syntactic/lexical)
annotations or knows another way of doing these statistics, I'd be very
interested.

Thanks,
