    The Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL) Special Interest
    Group on the Lexicon (SIGLEX, http://www.siglex.org/) has created a
    structured list of topics and created "CORPORA Archive Links"
    (http://www.clres.com/corparchive.html) which provides an entree into
    this mailing list. The links associated with this structured list is
    created semi-automatically in about 10 minutes and is updated with some
    (ir)regularity. The latest revision to the structure and to the mailing
    list messages is June 13, 2003 and covers messages going back to the
    beginning of 1997 (almost 1500 messages as of that date). Note
    particularly that it is very easy to create new (sub)categories and
    assign messages to multiple categories. Any suggestions or comments are
    very highly welcome.
