Abstract

To use the Corpus of History English Texts (CHET) you must download the software Coruña Corpus Tool (http://hdl.handle.net/2183/21850). The Corpus of History English Texts (CHET) is the third part of the Coruña Corpus of English Scientific Writing (CC). It has been compiled to represent English History writing in late Modern English (1700-1900), and it can be used to describe such tradition both from a synchronic and diachronic perspective. As is characteristic of the Coruña Corpus, each text file in CHET is accompanied by a metadata file which provides information about the text sampled and its author's sociolinguistic background. Metadata files can be also used to select the texts to work with through the Coruña Corpus Tool. For more information, see Moskowich et al. 2019.
