The Brooklyn-Geneva-Amsterdam-Helsinki Parsed Corpus of Old English
(henceforth the Brooklyn Corpus) is a selection of texts from the
Old English Section of the Helsinki Corpus of English Texts (henceforth
the Helsinki Corpus), representing a range of dates of composition,
authors, and genres. It contains more than 106'000 words of Old English;
the samples from the longer texts are 5'000 to 10'000 words in length.
The texts are syntactically and morphologically annotated, and each Old
English word is glossed.
Besides the syntactic annotation, this TEI.2 conformant edition of the
Brooklyn Corpus contains all the annotations from the original edition,
i.e. part-of-speech tags, complete morphology, lemmata, and Modern English
glosses.
For further details, especially on the XML elements and attributes used,
please refer to the corpus header file (BCorpus.hdr) and the manual to the
original edition (manual.pdf).
