The Royal Society Corpus Version 2.0 eng
The Royal Society Corpus (RSC) is based on the first two centuries of the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London from its beginning in 1665 to 1869. It includes all publications of the journal written mainly in English and containing running text. The Philosophical Transactions was the first periodical of scientific writing in England. The RSC consists of approximately 35 million token and is encoded for text type (abstracts, articles), author, year of publication. Information about decade and 50-year periods are also available allowing for a diachronic analysis of different granularity. The corpus is tokenized and linguistically annotated for lemma and part-of-speech using TreeTagger (Schmid 1994, Schmid 1995). For spelling normalization we use a trained model of VARD (Baron and Rayson 2008). As a special feature, we encode with each unit (word token) its average surprisal, i.e. the average amount of information it encodes in number of bits, with words as units and trigram as contexts [cf. Genzel and Charniak 2002). eng
