The Brazilian Portuguese Web as Corpus is a large corpus constructed in our lab following the Wacky framework, which was made public for research purposes.


Current version

The current corpus version, released in January 2017, is composed by 3.53 million documents, 2.68 billion tokens and 5.79 million types (TTR 0.0021), and was completely parsed with the Palavras parser. It is now openly available, both for download and for navigation in a NoSketch Engine interface, and you can request access here. If you have any problems, please contact us directly.

Classification according to readability levels

During our studies, the whole corpus was annotated with 134 different textual attributes and classified according to readability levels by four different learning models with different characteristics. For more information about these experiments, please check our publications or contact us.
