I am using the BNC corpus as a representative for informative
(expository) texts. For lack of computation resources I am taking only
part of this huge corpus, specifically the A0* files. These include
extracts from various magazines (gradening, gliding, ...). This was
found just by chance. My question is - is there a description of the BNC
SGML text files with respects to their content? This would allow one to
better select which subset to use for a given purpose.

Thank you very much,
Yaakov Yaari
