-This section defines a dictionary mapping of string keys to `Callable`
-functions. Each callable takes an `nlp` object and yields
-[`Example`](/api/example) objects. By default, the two keys `train` and `dev`
-are specified and each refer to a [`Corpus`](/api/top-level#Corpus). When
-pretraining, an additional pretrain section is added that defaults to a

+Alternatively, the `[corpora]` block can refer to **one function** that returns
+a dictionary keyed by the corpus names. This can be useful if you want to load a
+single corpus once and then divide it up into `train` and `dev` partitions.
