    abstract = "We present BAREC-10M, an expanded version of the Balanced Arabic Readability Evaluation Corpus (BAREC). This new release extends the original 1M-word corpus to 10 million words and broadens its scope to include balanced multi-domain coverage annotated for morphology, syntax, and readability. The corpus integrates 45 sub-corpora drawn from diverse sources, including news, educational materials, literature, children{'}s texts, and religious discourse. Each text is labeled for domain, readership level, and genre, and automatically analyzed using state-of-the-art morphological and syntactic tools. To enhance coverage of underrepresented varieties, we manually digitized and included children{'}s materials, magazines, and curriculum-based content. The resulting dataset provides a balanced resource for studying Arabic linguistic variation across styles, audiences, and levels of complexity."
