Corpus of English Chemistry Texts (CEChet)

Abstract

To use the Corpus of English Chemistry Texts (CEChet) you must download the software Coruña Corpus Tool (http://hdl.handle.net/2183/21850). The corpus of English Chemistry Texts (CEChet) is the fifth part of the Coruña Corpus of English Scientific Writing (CC). It represents English texts dealing with chemistry and alchemy matters in late Modern English (1700-1900), and it can be used to describe such tradition both from a synchronic and a diachronic perspective. As is characteristic of the Coruña Corpus, each text file in CECheT 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.
