CLMET 3.1 (Markdown)
The Corpus of Late Modern English Texts, version 3.1 (De Smet, Flach, Diller & Tyrkkö, KU Leuven), converted to Markdown. 333 texts, 1710-1920, about 34.4 million words. British English, in three 70-year periods.
The texts come from online archives: 246 from Project Gutenberg, 64 from the Oxford Text Archive, 8 from the Victorian Women Writers Project and 11 from other sites. The other 4 have no usable source URL in CLMET's header. CLMET has no gaps or missing-character marks, so there is only one version.
The text is CLMET's plain-text edition converted to Markdown and detokenised (do n't becomes
don't, word , becomes word,). CLMET's metadata header is split into columns.
Each text also starts with a short YAML front matter and a title line.
Checks
Compared with CLMET 3.1 corpus/txt/plain from OTA (hdl 20.500.14106/2574) and with
biglam/clmet_3_1. Details are in verification.json.
- Same 333 texts as the original. Title, author, year, genre and the other header fields match in every row.
- 312 texts match the original letter for letter (case-folded). The other 21 lack CLMET's page labels and note-reference numbers, 12,685 letters in all. Every text keeps at least 99.4% of its letters.
- 9 texts still contain Gutenberg page markers like
[pg 12], 3,715 in total.
Size
Word counts depend on the tokeniser. CLMET gives 34,386,225 words. The n_words column here
uses our own tokeniser and sums to 34,564,473. The tables below use n_words.
