Apresentação »

The Tycho Brahe Parsed Corpus of Historical Portuguese is an electronic corpus of texts written in Portuguese by authors born between 1380 and 1845.

At present, 57 texts ( 2,547,504 words) are available for research, with a linguistic annotation system in two stages: part-of-specch tagging ( 33 texts); and syntactic annotation ( 16 texts).

The Corpus has been built within the project
Rhythmic Patterns, Parameter Setting and Language Change
