1. Susan Pintzuk, Annotated corpus of Old English prose

The York-Toronto-Helsinki Parsed Corpus of Old English Prose (YCOE), a
1.5 million word syntactically-annotated corpus of Old English prose
texts created at the University of York (England), is now
available. As a sister corpus to the Penn-Helsinki Parsed Corpus of
Middle English (http://www.ling.upenn.edu/mideng/), it uses the same
form of annotation and is accessed by the same search engine,
CorpusSearch. The corpus itself (the annotated text files) is
distributed by the Oxford Text Archive (http://ota.ahds.ac.uk). It is
freely available for non-commercial use. Information about the corpus
and all the associated documentation can be viewed on the web at:
http://www-users.york.ac.uk/~lang22/YcoeHome1.htm. The corpus was
created with a grant from the English Arts and Humanities Research
Board (B/RG/AN5907/APN9528). Please direct any mail about the corpus
to Ann Taylor at9york.ac.uk
