Access instructions for the Dictionary of Old English web corpus
Access to The Dictionary of Old English for Newcastle University scholars
The LingLab has purchased a 3-year license to access The Dictionary of Old English web corpus. According to their website:
The Dictionary of Old English Web Corpus is an online database consisting of at least one copy of every surviving Old English text. In some cases, more than one copy is included, if it is significant because of dialect or date. As such, the DOE Web Corpus represents over three million words of Old English and fewer than a million words of Latin, or almost five times the collected works of Shakespeare. Compiled as part of the Dictionary of Old English project at the University of Toronto, the texts in the Corpus are XML-encoded and are fully conformant with the Text Encoding Initiative Guidelines (TEI-P5 2007). The interface for the Dictionary of Old English Web Corpus was developed by the Humanities Text Initiative at the University of Michigan.
Access is only available to Newcastle University staff and students, but it can be access either on-campus or remotely.
Before using this resource, please familiarise yourself with the Terms of Use, available in the file below. The most relevant parts have been highlighted for your benefit.
If you have any queries or have difficulty access the corpus, please contact the Lab Manager in the first instance (Lauren Ackerman: lauren.ackerman@ncl.ac.uk). You may be directed to contact NUIT if the issue is related to the hardware or software you are using, or if it cannot be resolved by the Lab Manager.
