Abstract

Corpus of Historical American English in linear text data format.

Zip folder contains 20 .txt files of historical linguistic data from fiction sources, from 1820 to 2010.

This format provides a textID for each text, and then the entire text on the same line. In this format, words are not annotated for part of speech or lemma. In addition, contracted words like can't are separated into two parts (ca n't) and punctuation is separated from words (eye level . As her).
