Creating and Digitizing Language Corpora: Volume 2: Diachronic Databases

by Joan C. Beal, David Denison (Contributor), K. Corrigan (Editor)

A range of electronic corpora has become accessible via the WWW and CD-ROM. This coincides with improvements in standards governing the collecting, encoding and archiving of such data. This book develops similar standards for enriching and preserving 'unconventional' data': the fragmentary texts and voices left to us as accidents of history.
