Introduction The Brooklyn-Geneva-Amsterdam-Helsinki Parsed Corpus of Old English (henceforth the Brooklyn Corpus) is an annotated version of texts from the Old English Section of the Helsinki Corpus of English Texts (henceforth the Helsinki Corpus); the Helsinki Corpus was created under the direction of Matti Rissanen and Ossi Ihalainen at the University of Helsinki). The Brooklyn Corpus contains more than 106,000 words of Old English text (see Appendix A for a complete list of texts); the samples from the longer texts are 5,000 to 10,000 words in length. The texts represent a range of dates of composition, authors, and genres. The texts in the Brooklyn Corpus are syntactically and morphologically annotated, and each word is glossed. The Brooklyn Corpus is available without fee for educational and research purposes, but see Appendix B for copyright matters and conditions of use. The Brooklyn Corpus is the joint project of five linguists: Susan Pintzuk (University of York, UK), Eric Haeberli (University of Geneva, Switzerland, and University of Reading, UK), Ans van Kemenade (University of Nijmegen, the Netherlands), Willem Koopman (University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands), and Frank Beths (Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and University of York, UK). Pintzuk¹s work was funded by grant #RT-21583-94 from the National Endowment for the Humanities (USA), an independent federal agency. Van Kemenade, Koopman, and Beths were responsible for the design and implementation of the morphological annotation scheme, which was based on the one developed for the Old French corpus of Anthonij Dees at Vrije Universiteit. Pintzuk and Haeberli were responsible for the design and implementation of the syntactic annotation scheme, which was based on the one developed at the University of Pennsylvania for the first edition of the Penn-Helsinki Parsed Corpus of Middle English (Kroch and Taylor 1994), henceforth the PPCME1. Our intent was to make the two corpora as similar as possible; and those who are familiar with the PPCME1 will recognize the similarities between the PPCME1 and the Brooklyn Corpus -- in both the design and implementation of the syntactic annotation schemes and also in the organization of the manuals. We are indebted to Tony Kroch and Ann Taylor for their help and support. We would also like to acknowledge here the enthusiastic support of Matti Rissanen and Merja Kytö of the Helsinki Corpus, and Antonette Healey of the Toronto Dictionary of Old English project. The mark-up conventions of the Helsinki Corpus have been retained in the Brooklyn Corpus except where they conflict with the syntactic annotation. The major changes are the following: … The text is presented in units of main clauses with their associated subordinate clauses, rather than line by line. … All Helsinki Corpus text level codes (see Kytö 1993: 28-40) within the texts have been changed as follows: TEXT LEVEL CODE HELSINKI BROOKLYN foreign language (\...\) ... emendation [{...{] not indicated heading [}...}] ... Helsinki comment [^...^] either eliminated (e.g. those indicating text information), or Brooklyn comment Notice that the Helsinki Corpus conventions for Old English characters have been retained: +a = ash, +t = thorn, +d = eth. 2. Design of the syntactic annotation scheme Since the philosophy and goals of the Brooklyn Corpus are almost identical to those of the PPCME1, we quote from the PPCME1 Manual, pp. 5-6: ³Our primary goal has been to create an annotation system that facilitates automatic searches, not to give a correct linguistic analysis of each sentence. Thus, if a construction can be found unambiguously through a combination of properties of a bracketed sentence, the annotation may not contain all of the structure that a full phrase structure diagram of the sentence would have.² ³... subjective judgments must be avoided since they are extremely error prone; so, for example, we have not distinguished verbal from adjectival passive participles. Some syntactic structure (e.g. the internal structure of NPs and PPs) has been systematically left out ...² ³As many categories as possible should have clear meanings so that unclear cases should wind up in a small number of categories of residual cases. The price of making most categories homogeneous is that these residual categories will not be.² ³To the maximum extent possible we have avoided making decisions that would be controversial, either linguistically or as far as interpretation is concerned. Where there is room for doubt as to the correct parse or interpretation of the sentence we have either used a mechanical rule to decide the case for searching purposes or we have left structure unmarked. Adherence to this criterion has made it impossible for us to include a VP constituent since, given the word order variation/change in Middle English [and in Old English (SP)] and the existence of scrambling, the boundaries of the VP are all too often indeterminate.² ³NOTE TO THE USER: The annotation system used in this corpus is complex and tries to make a number of quite subtle syntactic distinctions while failing to make some others, mostly for practical reasons. Hence, it is very important in using this corpus that the user not rely on an informal notion of how the system works but rather read the documentation carefully in deciding how to search for constructions of interest and to check the exhaustiveness of a search by searching for a broader set of sentences than those desired in a subset of the data. Only in this way can one be certain that what is actually searched for corresponds to the researcher¹s intentions.² And finally, we should emphasize that the syntactic annotations should in no way be regarded as the implementation of a structural analysis within a particular theoretical framework. The annotation schemes were developed as a tool for the investigation of the structure of earlier stages of English. The annotations enable the users to pose and answer questions about word order, constituent order, abstract structure, and syntactic and morphological characteristics of the texts in the corpus. The annotation schemes are general-purpose ones that are as theory-neutral as possible, while still incorporating the insights of modern linguistic theory. The annotations can be used as they are, or augmented without the need for revision or redesign, by scholars with widely varying research interests. 3. Format and layout of the texts 3.1 Text formats Each text in the Brooklyn Corpus is supplied in four different formats, each format as a separate file with the same name and a different extension. For an explanation of the names of the files, see Appendix A. The four different formats are suitable for use with different search methods (see Section 13 below). … Format 1, with extension .o2/.o23/.o24/.o3/.o34. The largest version of the corpus, with a header block and three sections for each token: 1) the Old English data with syntactic annotation, 2) the gloss, and 3) the morphological annotation. This format can be searched only by search functions within word-processing programs and editors (see Section 13, Method 1). … Format 2, with extension .oe. The Old English data with syntactic annotation only. This format can be searched by word-processing programs and by the PERL scripts supplied with the Brooklyn Corpus (see Section 13, Methods 1 and 2). … Format 3, with extension .unpacked. The Old English data unpacked, with one clause per token. This format can be searched by word-processing programs and by the PERL scripts supplied with the Brooklyn Corpus (see Section 13, Methods 1 and 2). … Format 4, with extension .psd. The Old English data in a format suitable only for searching with CorpusSearch (see Section 13, Method 3). 3.1.1 Format 1 For files in Format 1, each token consists of one main clause, together with its dependent subordinate clauses. There are three parts for each token, each part separated from previous and subsequent parts by a blank line. Part 1 contains the Old English data with part-of-speech (POS) tags and syntactic bracketing and labelling, and with a token reference. Part 2 contains the word-for-word Modern English gloss. Part 3 contains the Old English data with morphological annotation. An example is given below: ( [rt +ta/RT ] [vt com/VT ] [nn sum/JJN wydewe/NNN , 1[L [wh-1 seo/PDN ] %co% %nn-1% [vt w+as/ET ] [vn geciged/VN ] 2[S %nn-1% [nn Euthicia/NMN ] S]2 L]1 , ] [pp betwux/PP o+drum/JJD mannum/NND ] [pp to/PP +t+are/PDD m+aran/JJD byrigene/NND ] , [o and/CC hire/PO dohtor/NNN samod/RR , seo/PDN ges+alige/JJN Lucia/NMN ] . ) (AELIVE,I,210.5) then came some widow, that was called Eutychia, between other persons to that famous grave, and her daughter simultaneously, that fortuitous Lucy. +ta_l(+ta)_m(w:avti) com_l(cuman)_m(m:in_n:sg_p:3_t:pa_w:vb)_c(1) sum_l(sum)_m(c:nm_n:sg_w:ajat) wydewe_l(wuduwe)_m(c:nm_n:sg_w:nono) seo_l(se)_m(c:nm_g:fm_n:sg_w:prrl) w+as_l(beon)_m(m:in_n:sg_p:3_t:pa_w:vbax) geciged_l(geciegan)_m(m:pt_t:pa_w:vb)_c(8) Euthicia_l(euthicia)_m(c:nm_n:sg_w:nona) betwux_l(betwux)_m(w:pp) o+drum_l(o+ter)_m(c:dt_n:pl_w:ajat) mannum_l(mann)_m(c:dt_n:pl_w:nono) to_l(to)_m(w:pp) +t+are_l(se)_m(c:dt_g:fm_n:sg_w:prde) m+aran_l(m+are)_m(c:dt_n:sg_w:ajat) byrigene_l(byrgen)_m(c:dt_n:sg_w:nono) and_l(and)_m(w:coco) hire_l(hire)_m(w:prpo) dohtor_l(dohtor)_m(c:nm_n:sg_w:nono) samod_l(samod)_m(w:av) seo_l(se)_m(c:nm_g:fm_n:sg_w:prde) ges+alige_l(ges+alig)_m(c:nm_n:sg_w:ajat) Lucia_l(lucia)_m(c:nm_n:sg_w:nona) In Section 1, the token is surrounded by opening and closing parentheses, which are separated from the text by a space. Subordinate clauses are numbered, and are enclosed within labelled square brackets inside the main clause token. The token reference follows immediately, surrounded by another set of parentheses, with no spaces. The reference consists of the Helsinki Corpus file name without the initial ŒCO¹, followed by the volume reference where relevant, the page number, and the line number or record number. Page numbers, line numbers, and record numbers are taken directly from the Helsinki Corpus; see Kytö 1993: 55-56. See Appendix A for the list of files, reference names, and record number formats. Part 2 of each token contains the word-for-word Modern English gloss. These glosses were constructed automatically, without regard for sense or reasonable translation, simply by using the first definition for each lemma (=base form) from Clark Hall 1960. It should be emphasized that the glosses are meant only as an aid, are not guaranteed to be accurate, and in fact frequently do not make much sense. Use them at your own risk! Better yet, do not use them at all! Part 3 of each token contains the Old English data with morphological annotation. The data are listed one word per line, with the following fields: Field 1: the Old English word as it appears in the text Field 2 (beginning with Œ_l¹): the Old English lemma corresponding to the word Field 3 (beginning with Œ_m¹): the morphological annotation Field 4 (beginning with Œ_p¹): for verbs with (separable) particles only, the particle. Field 5 (beginning with Œ_c¹): for lexical verbs only, the complementation code In Format 1, each file begins with a header block of 13 to 17 lines containing text and copyright information, and may contain additional blocks within the file, depending on whether the Helsinki Corpus has supplied information relevant for the individual samples; coaelet3.o3, coaelive.o3, colaw2.o2, colaw4.o34, cowulf3.o3, and cowulf4.o34 contain file-internal blocks. The text information is taken directly from the Helsinki Corpus; see Kytö 1993: 40-55 for a complete description. A sample header block, from Bede¹s Ecclesiastical History, is given below: /******************************************************************** BEDE¹S ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY.

Each token is separated from previous and subsequent tokens by a blank line. The example from Section 3.1.3 is repeated below. ( [rt +ta/RT ] [vt com/VT ] [nn sum/JJN wydewe/NNN , 1[L [wh-1 seo/PDN ] %co% %nn-1% [vt w+as/ET ] [vn geciged/VN ] 2[S %nn-1% [nn Euthicia/NMN ] S]2 L]1 , ] [pp betwux/PP o+drum/JJD mannum/NND ] [pp to/PP +t+are/PDD m+aran/JJD byrigene/NND ] , [o and/CC hire/PO dohtor/NNN samod/RR , seo/PDN ges+alige/JJN Lucia/NMN ] . ) (AELIVE,I,210.5) 3.1.3 Format 3 Files in Format 3 again contain only the Old English data with POS tags, syntactic bracketing and labelling, and token references; but in this format the data is Œunpacked¹, i.e. separated by clause, with one clause (main or subordinate) per token. The token reference is repeated for each clause with no modification or addition; note that if the reference includes a line number, that number will be the number of the beginning of the sentence, not the beginning of each individual clause. Where a subordinate clause has been pulled out from the clause that contained it, a special trace is left to indicate the original location of the clause: {Zn}, where Z is the clause label, n is the clause number. The example from Section 3.1.2 is shown below as it appears in a Format 3 file: ( [rt +ta/RT ] [vt com/VT ] [nn sum/JJN wydewe/NNN , {L1} , ] [pp betwux/PP o+drum/JJD mannum/NND ] [pp to/PP +t+are/PDD m+aran/JJD byrigene/NND ] , [o and/CC hire/PO dohtor/NNN samod/RR , seo/PDN ges+alige/JJN Lucia/NMN ] . ) (AELIVE,I,210.5) ( 1[L [wh-1 seo/PDN ] %co% %nn-1% [vt w+as/ET ] [vn geciged/VN ] {S2} L]1 ) (AELIVE,I,210.5) ( 2[S %nn-1% [nn Euthicia/NMN ] S]2 ) (AELIVE,I,210.5) 3.1.4 Format 4 Files in Format 4 contain all of the data from files in Format 2, with the annotation modified so that the data can be searched by CorpusSearch. The example from Section 3.1.2 is repeated below, followed by the Format 4 version. Format 2: ( [rt +ta/RT ] [vt com/VT ] [nn sum/JJN wydewe/NNN , 1[L [wh-1 seo/PDN ] %co% %nn-1% [vt w+as/ET ] [vn geciged/VN ] 2[S %nn-1% [nn Euthicia/NMN ] S]2 L]1 , ] [pp betwux/PP o+drum/JJD mannum/NND ] [pp to/PP +t+are/PDD m+aran/JJD byrigene/NND ] , [o and/CC hire/PO dohtor/NNN samod/RR , seo/PDN ges+alige/JJN Lucia/NMN ] . ) (AELIVE,I,210.5) Format 4: ( (IP (rt (RT +ta)) (vt (VT com)) (nn (JJN sum) (NNN wydewe) (, ,) (IP-L (wh-1 (PDN seo)) (e %nn-1%) (e %co%) (vt (ET w+as)) (vn (VN geciged)) (IP-S (e %nn-1%) (nn (NMN Euthicia)))) (, ,)) (pp (PP betwux) (JJD o+drum) (NND mannum)) (pp (PP to) (PDD +t+are) (JJD m+aran) (NND byrigene)) (, ,) (o (CC and) (PO hire) (NNN dohtor) (RR samod) (, ,) (PDN seo) (JJN ges+alige) (NMN Lucia)) (. .)) (ID AELIVE,I,210.5.2)) Notice the following differences in the Format 4 token: … Main clauses are labelled IP; subordinate clauses are labelled IP-Z, where Z is the clause type. Labels are used only at the beginning of clauses. … Subordinate clauses are not numbered. … Square brackets have been replaced by parentheses. … POS tags have been replaced by labels on brackets. … Empty categories are dominated by a node labelled Œe¹. … Punctuation is dominated by a node with the label of the punctuation. … The token reference is dominated by a node labelled ŒID¹ and included within the token. The token reference also now contains a token number added as the last number in the reference; the token number is the relative number of the token within its file. … Data contained bracketed html-like indicators (e.g. ... , ... , , ) are now dominated by a node ŒCODE¹. 3.2 Separating and joining words In general, we have avoided altering the word boundaries of the Helsinki Corpus texts. There are two exceptions: 1) In cases where a particular word in the Helsinki Corpus was not listed in Clark Hall 1960, and where either joining the word to an adjacent word or separating the word into two parts produced a Clark Hall lexical item, we have done so. Words that have been joined together are indicated in the text by an underline character (Œ_¹) between the two parts; words that have been separated are indicated in the text by an underline character at the end of the first part.

Since the position of particles is an important diagnostic for the structure of Old English clauses, we felt it was important to label particles separately to facilitate searches. Note that in the Modern English gloss, the particle is not glossed separately.

Conventions used in this manual For the remainder of this manual, the following conventions are used: … nc/gc/lc/fc/ec/jc = case-marked constituent, where Œc¹ stands for n(ominative), a(ccusative), d(ative), g(enitive), or i(nstrumental). … Z = any clause label … z = any clause-internal label, of length 1 through 4 characters In all of the documentation in Sections II and III of this manual, the annotation is described as it appears in Formats 1 through 3 of the Brooklyn Corpus. Those users who intend to search the Corpus using CorpusSearch on texts in Format 4 should keep in mind the differences listed in Section 3.1.4. Section II: Part of Speech (POS) Tags 5. Introduction to POS tagging Each Old English word in the corpus is marked with a POS tag, attached to the end of the word and preceded by a slash (/). The POS tags used in the Brooklyn Corpus will not be discussed in detail in this manual, since they were derived directly from the morphological annotation of Part 3 of the Format 1 files (see Section 3.1.1 for a brief description and Section 12 for the correspondence between POS tags and morphological annotation). For a complete description of the morphological annotation upon which the POS tags are based, contact Ans van Kemenade (a.v.kemenade@let.kun.nl).

General characteristics of the syntactic annotation scheme 7.1 Complements and adjuncts of verbs and adjectives There is no VP or AdjP constituent in the annotation scheme: given the word order variation in Old English, the boundaries of the VP and the AdjP are in most cases impossible to determine. Complements and adjuncts of verbs and adjectives are treated in the same way: they are bracketed separately, and they are not coindexed to empty categories if they are not adjacent to the verb or adjective. Complements and adjuncts of verbs: ( [+ and/CC ] %nn% [vt awearp/VT ] [na his/PO w+apna/NNA ] , ) (AELIVE,IV,320.101) and threw his weapons, ( [rt +ta/RT ] [vt cw+a+d/VT ] [nn Lucia/NMN ] [pp mid/PP geleafan/NND ] [pp to/PP hire/PO meder/NND ] , {V1} ) (AELIVE,I,210.14) then said Lucy with belief to her mother, Complements and adjuncts of adjectives: ( [nn He/PEN ] [vt w+as/BT ] [jn cystig/JJN ] [nd w+adlum/NND and/CC wydewum/NND ] [pp swa/RR swa/CS f+ader/NNN ] , ) (AELIVE,IV,314.22) he was charitable beggars and widows so so-as father, ( [rt +ta/RT ] [vt cw+a+d/VT ] [nn Eadmund/NMN cyning/NNN ] 1[B [cs swa/RR swa/CS ] [nn he/PEN ] [rr ful/RR ] [jn cene/JJN ] [vt w+as/BT ] B]1 , {D1} ) (AELIVE,IV,318.73) then said Edmund king so so-as he very bold was, 7.2 Constituent-internal annotation In general, there is no non-clausal internal structure bracketed within a constituent: heads and all their modifiers, specifiers, complements, adjuncts, etc. are enclosed on a single level within the constituent. Thus PPs are not bracketed within NPs, nor are NP objects of prepositions bracketed within PPs. ( [nn He/PEN ] [vt genam/VT ] [rt +da/RT ] [na ane/JJA cuppan/NNA mid/PP cwealmberum/JJD drence/NND ] , ) (AELIVE,I,312.73) he took then one cup with deadly drink, ( [+ ac/CC ] [nn ic/PEN ] [~ ne/NE ] [vt forhtige/VT ] [pp for/PP +dinum/POD gebeote/NND ] , ) (AELIVE,I,314.99) but I not fear before your boast, When particles occur at the left edge of a PP, they are included within the PP and not bracketed separately.

They are bracketed and labelled, and have full internal structure. ( [nn +tis/PDN ] [vt com/VT ] [rt +ta/RT ] [pp to/PP earan/NND ] [d +tam/PDD +a+delborenan/JJD cnihte/NND 1[L %wh-1% [co +te/CO ] %nn-1% [vt awogode/VT ] [na Lucian/NMA ] L]1 ... ] . ) (AELIVE,I,212.57) this came then to ear that distinguished boy that wooed Lucy ...

For example, a search for [nd ... ] (dative NPs) will not retrieve all dative NPs in the Corpus, since some are contained within prepositional phrases. When searching the corpus, therefore, it is necessary to give some consideration to the search strings used, taking the limitations of the annotation scheme into account. 7.3 Non-adjacent constituents of NPs Three types of non-clausal constituents are given a separate tag when they are separated from the NP that they belong to: emphatic reflexives, floated quantifiers, and appositives. When these constituents are adjacent to their NP, they are included within the NP and not bracketed and labelled separately. Reflexives: ( [nd +te/PED sylf/PFD ] [rr so+dlice/RR ] [~ ne/NE ] [vt genealec+a+d/VT ] [nn~ nan/JJN~ yfel/NNN ] ... ) (AELIVE,I,216.111) you self truly not approaches no evil.

In general, the Latin words and phrases do not play a role in the syntax of the clause, and are simply left unbracketed. Note that in the example below, a direct speech token which is the translation of the Latin has been extracted, with {D1} marking the extraction site. ( [+ And/CC ] [rm egeslice/RM ] [vt sp+ac/VT ] [nn Gregorius/NMN ] [pp be/PP +dam/PDD ] 1[B [cs +ta/RT +da/CS ] [nn he/PEN ] [rr +tus/RR ] [vt cw+a+d/VT ] : si quis ecclesiam Dei denudauerit uel sanctimonia uiolauerit , anathema sit ; ad quod respondentes omnes dixerunt , amen {D1} B]1 . ) (WULF3,202.46) and awfully spoke Gregory by that then when he thus said: But if the Latin phrase has a function in a clause, it is either included within the brackets of a constituent or else syntactically bracketed and labelled appropriately.

[gx viii idus Iulii ] . ) (CHROA2,92.903.1) here went A. ruler E. brother and V. abbot of Scots. and G. mass-priest. . Note that Latin words are not glossed. 8. Clause bracketing Parentheses () are used for bracketing most main clauses, square brackets [] for subordinate clauses. Labels are attached to the beginning and end of both main and subordinate clauses: (V ... V), [T ... T]. This differs from the PPCME1 practice, which does not attach labels to the end of main clauses. Subordinate clauses (except for direct speech) are not separated from their main clauses in Format 1, 2, and 4 text files. Capital letters are used to label clause types. The only main clauses that are labelled for type are declaratives (D ... D), direct questions (Q ...Q), imperatives (V ... V), exclamations (I ... I), parentheticals [P ... P], and embedded main clauses [N ... N], but all subordinate clauses have a label. Consecutive subordinate clauses governed by the same element are bracketed separately. If there is a conjunction, it is included inside the second/third etc. clause bracket; that is, conjunctions are bracketed with the constituent that follows them. Embedded subordinate clauses are bracketed so that they are nested within the clauses that contain them. Embedded subordinate clauses are also numbered, in the order in which their left periphery occurs within the main clause; when clauses are unpacked, the trace of the extracted clause contains the clause number. Clauses that are embedded in direct speech are always extracted from the main clause, with a specially-formatted trace left within the main clause; see Section 8.2.2. 8.1 Clause labels Main clause labels. Note that this list includes clauses that are Œmain-clause like¹, and that two of them are enclosed in square brackets. ( ... ) the normal declarative main clause has no label (D ... D) declarative main clause that was embedded in direct speech (Q ... Q) direct question (V ... V) imperative (I ... I) exclamation [P ... P] parenthetical [N ...

D) Direct speech is marked only when it is introduced by a verb of speaking; in the morphological section of the token, the complementation code of the verb of speaking in the main clause indicates a direct speech complement (complementation code 4 or 6). Clauses that are embedded in direct speech are extracted from the main clause token and stand as independent tokens. Within the main clause where the direct speech originated, curly brackets containing a clause type indicator (D/Q/V/I) and a clause number are inserted. The direct speech clause is pulled out, enclosed (as usual) in parentheses, and marked with the matching number and clause type. This extracted format is the same as the Œunpacked¹ format of Format 3 files (see Section 3.1.3 above). Only the first clause of the speech is marked as direct speech; the rest of the clauses are treated as normal main clauses.

N] There are four types of embedded main clauses in the Brooklyn Corpus: 1) complement clauses. All that-clause complements of verbs that have empty complementizers and that are not conjoined are treated as embedded main clauses, unless they are clearly part of a conjoined sequence but do not have an overt conjunction. ( [+ &/CC ] %nn% [vt b+adon/VT ] 1[T [co +t+at/CO ] [nn hie/PEN ealle/JJN ] [rr gem+anelice/RR ] [vt cunnoden/VT ] , 2[N [at mehten/MT ] [nn hi/PEN ] [na heora/PO gem+anan/JJA fiend/NNA ] [pp him/PED from/PP ] [vv adon/VV ] N]2 T]1 . ) (OROSIU,118.12) and asked that they all commonly tried, could they their common foe them from take-away. If the matrix clause is passive, the embedded main clause is coindexed with the expletive subject (but see the note on coindexing in Section 11).

This contrasts with a similar construction where no arguments are missing in the matrix clause. In these cases, the two clauses are separated, and the second is bracketed as a normal main clause.

B] Adverbial clauses include those introduced by a subordinating conjunction and Œ(so) that¹ purpose and result clauses. Any (swa) swa clause which does not clearly contain a gap is categorized as an adverbial clause. +t+at, +te, and +t+atte as complementizers/conjunctions/subordinators in adverbial clauses are classified as Œw:cosu¹ in the morphological section of the token but POS-tagged as Œ/CO¹. All others are POS-tagged as in the morphological section of the token, and syntactically bracketed as Œcs¹ with no internal structure.

L] Restrictive and non-restrictive headed relative clauses are not distinguished. If the relative clause is adjacent to its antecedent, it is contained within the brackets of the antecedent.

Relative clauses obligatorily contain both a wh- constituent and a complementizer; empty categories %wh% and %co% are used if the constituents are not overt, as in the examples above. In general, all words within the wh- constituent are POS-tagged with their non-wh part of speech, e.g. demonstrative pronoun, locative adverb, preposition plus complement, etc. The wh- constituent, whether overt or empty, is coindexed with an empty category within the clause indicating the function of the gap (but see the note on coindexing in Section 11). If the gap is an argument of the verb, the empty category immediately follows the complementizer. If, however, the gap is within a PP or some other constituent, the empty category appears within that constituent.

It isn¹t used frequently in Old English, but it does occur in relatives with a neuter head, relatives on temporal heads, and relatives with eall as head. Evidence that it is a complementizer: the temporal heads are not necessarily neuter or singular (gender/number clash); +t+at permits preposition stranding, like +te and unlike se. Therefore all +t+at relative pronouns, including those where the head of the relative clause is neuter singular, are syntactically bracketed as complementizers. We have distinguished five types of headed relative clauses: se relatives, +te relatives, se+te relatives, swa hw... swa relatives, and locative relatives, which are discussed in more detail below. Infinitival relatives are difficult to distinguish from infinitival purpose clauses. Therefore, we do not generally label infinitival clauses as relatives: infinitival clauses are syntactically bracketed as ŒU¹. An ŒL¹ bracket is added only in cases where a clear relative clause gap occurs in the infinitival clause: ( 1[B [cs Gif/CS ] [nn mon/PMN ] [vt~ n+abbe/VT~ ] [rr buton/RR ] [na anfeald/JJA hr+agl/NNA 2[L %wh-1% %co% 3[U [na hine/PFA ] [pp mid/PP %nx-1% ] [av to/PP ] [vv wreonne/VV ] U]3 L]2 4[L [+ &/CC ] %wh-2% %co% 5[U %nx-2% [av to/PP ] [vv werianne/VV ] U]5 L]4 ] B]1 , 6[B [+ &/CC ] %cs% [nn he/PEN ] [na hit/PEA ] [pp to/PP wedde/NND ] [vt selle/VT ] B]6 , [pp +ar/PP sunnan/NNG setlgonge/NND ] [vt sie/ET ] [nn hit/PEN ] [vn agifen/VN ] . ) (LAW2,38.36.1) if one not-have outside single dress him(self) with to cover and to guard, and he it to pledge give, before sun setting be it given. 8.3.2.1 se relatives In these relative clauses, the wh- constituent is overt and the complementizer is empty. The case of se within the wh- constituent almost always matches its case of the relative clause gap. Allen 1980 says there are a few cases where the case instead matches the head of the relative clause, but these cases do not appear in the Brooklyn Corpus. Allen also notes that pied piping in se relatives is obligatory (no preposition stranding). In the morphological section of the token, se is classified as Œw:prrl¹. It is POS-tagged as Œ/PDc¹.

In the morphological section of the token, +te is classified as Œw:prrl¹; it is POS-tagged as Œ/CO¹.

We have done so because they pattern with +te relatives: se is (almost) always case-marked for the main clause gap, not the relative clause gap; and there is no pied piping (preposition stranding is obligatory). In addition, the relative clause can appeared extraposed, separated from the head se . In the morphological section of the token, se is classified as Œw:prde¹, +te as Œw:prrl¹; se is POS-tagged as Œ/PDC¹ and +te as Œ/CO¹. Analysing headless se +te relatives in this way causes a clash with the complementation code in the morphological section of the token, since in that section they are analyzed as finite clauses rather than NPs.

In the morphological section of the token, both se and +te are classified as Œw:prrl¹; se is POS-tagged as Œ/PDC¹ and +te as Œ/CO¹, as in the se relatives and the +te relatives.

(But note that left-dislocated swa hw... swa relative clauses behave differently; see Section 8.3.3.1) Accordingly, we have analyzed the swa hw... phrase as part of the main clause, and the Œhw¹ constituent, if it is nominal, is case-marked accordingly. The second swa is treated as a complementizer. In the morphological section of the token, both swa are classified as Œw:cosu¹; the first swa is POS-tagged as Œ/CS¹, and the second swa as Œ/CO¹.

In the morphological section of the token, both swa are classified as Œw:cosu¹; the first swa is POS-tagged as Œ/CS¹, the second as Œ/CO¹. The left-dislocation syntactic label Œf¹ is always coindexed with the resumptive pronoun to make identification of coreference easier (but see the note on coindexing in Section 11): the case of the relevant element within the wh- constituent frequently does not match the case of the resumptive pronoun.

It is frequently difficult to distinguish free relatives from indirect questions that are complements of verbs. We have used the following diagnostic: if the matrix verb as it is used in the clause (e.g. negated or not) can take a Œwhether¹ clause as a complement, then the complement is an indirect question; otherwise it is a free relative. 8.3.5 That-clauses [T ... T] That-clauses occur as the complements of verbs, nouns, and adjectives. That-clause complements of verbs that have empty complementizers and that are not conjoined are treated as embedded main clauses (see Section 8.2.7). Otherwise, if the that-clause does not have an overt complementizer, an empty complementizer is inserted. That-clause complements of verbs: ( [rt +ta/RT ] [vt f+agnode/VT ] [nn Datianus/NMN ] 1[T [co +t+at/CO ] [nn he/PEN ] [vt funde/VT ] [na swylcne/JJA dry/NNA ] T]1 , ) (AELIVE,I,310.59) then rejoiced Datian that he found such magician, ( 1(D [nn Ic/PEN ] [vt secge/VT ] [nd eow/PED ] [pp to/PP so+tan/JJD ] 2[T [co +t+at/CO ] [nn sib/NNN ] [vt is/ET ] [vn forgifen/VN ] [nd Godes/NMG gela+dunge/NND ] T]2 , 3[T [+ and/CC ] %co% [nn se/PDN gramlica/JJN casere/NNN Dioclytianus/NMN ] [vt is/ET ] [vn gedon/VN ] [pp of/PP his/PO rice/NND ] T]3 4[T [+ and/CC ] %co% [nn Maximianus/NMN se/PDN manfulla/JJN ] [vt is/BT ] [jn dead/JJN ] T]4 .

Comparative clauses do not have wh- constituents, and the gap in the comparative clause is not normally indicated by an empty category (but see below for subject gaps). Extraposed comparative clauses are not coindexed with empty categories. The subordinators most frequently used are swa and swelce, although +te can be used as well. In the morphological section of the token, the first swa/swelce is classified as Œw:ajat¹ or Œw:av¹, the second as Œw:cosu¹, and they are POS-tagged correspondingly.

For the sake of consistency, all passive clauses that fit the syntactic description of small clauses are syntactically bracketed as [S ... S], even though it may be possible to interpret the passive participle as an adjunct of one of the NPs. In the following example, the clause could be translated as ŒIn the city of Antioch, there was a king called Antiochus¹.

Impersonal verbs like +tyncan can take small clause complements.

A] Absolute clauses are constructions with a subject different from that of the matrix clause and a verb in participial or infinitival form. When the verb of the absolute clause is a present participle, the structure of the clause is similar to that of the adjunct participial clauses (see Section 8.3.10 above), except that the latter do not have an overt subject. Absolute clauses are often translations of Latin ablative absolutes.

F] Direct speech fragments include direct speech that is not a main clause: that is, not a declarative, direct question, imperative, or exclamation.

These continuations are labelled X.

It must be emphasized that the clause type is not always clear. In the following example, the T clauses (apart from the first one) could also be interpreted as main clauses: ( [+ &/CC ] [nn ures/POG hlafordes/NNG ger+adnes/NNN &/CC his/PO witena/NNG ] [vt is/BT ] , 1[T [co +t+at/CO ] [nn muneca/NNG gehwylc/PIN , 2[L %wh-1% [co +te/CO ] %nn-1% [rr ute/RR ] [vt sy/BT ] [pp of/PP mynstre/NND ] L]2 3[L [+ &/CC ] %wh-2% %co% %nn-2% [ng regoles/NNG ] [~ ne/NE ] [vt gyme/VT ] L]3 ] , [vt do/VT ] 4[B [cs swa/CS ] [nd him/PED ] [nn +tearf/NNN ] [vt is/BT ] B]4 T]1 : 5[T %co% %nn% [vt gebuge/VT ] [rm georne/RM ] [pp into/PP mynstre/NND ] [pp mid/PP eallum/JJD eadmettum/NND ] T]5 6[T [+ &/CC ] %co% %nn% [ng misd+ada/NNG ] [vt geswice/VT ] T]6 7[T [+ &/CC ] %nn% [vt bete/VT ] [rr swy+te/RR ] [rm georne/RM ] [na +t+at/PDA 8[L %wh-3% %co% %nx-3% [nn he/PEN ] [vn abrocen/VN ] [at h+abbe/HT ] L]8 ] T]7 ; 9[T %co% %nn% [vt ge+dence/VT ] [na word/NNA &/CC wedd/NNA , 10[L %wh-4% [co +te/CO ] %nx-4% [nn he/PEN ] [nd Gode/NMD ] [vt bet+ahte/VT ] L]10 ] T]9 . ) (LAW3,238.5) and our lord agreement and his sages is, that monks each, that out be of monastery and rule not care-for, do so-as him need is: bow eagerly into monastery with all humilities and misdeeds wander and repair very-much eagerly that he broken have; think word and pledge, that he God made-over. Since the same lexical items can be used as subordinating conjunctions and adverbials in Old English, many more potential ambiguities arise. For example, clauses introduced by for+t+am are also sometimes ambiguous. The adverbial clause numbered 3 in the following example could be interpreted as a main clause introduced by the adverb for+t+am. ( [+ ac/CC ] %nn% [vt sprece/VT ] [pp to/PP +dam/PDD 1[L %wh% [co +te/CO ] %nn% [rm wel/RM ] [vt wilnia+d/VT ] 2[U [na wisdom/NNA ] [pa on_/PA ] [vv gitan/VV ] U]2 L]1 ] ; 3[B [cs for+d+am/CS ] [nn +t+at/PDN ] [vt bi+d/BT ] [nn tacn/NNN wisdomes/NNG ] [o 4[T [co +t+at/CO ] [na-1 hine/PEA ] [nn mon/PMN ] [vt welnige/VT ] 5[U %na-1% [vv geheran/VV ] [vx [+ &/CC ] [pa on_/PA ] [vv gitan/VV ] ] U]5 T]4 ] B]3 . ) (BOETH,118.9) but speak to those that well wish wisdom grasp; because that is token wisdom that him one wish hear and grasp. Similarly, some relative clauses could be interpreted as main clauses, and some +ta adverbial clauses could be interpreted as main clauses. The user is reminded that the syntactic scheme is not intended to represent an analysis, but is rather a tool to be used to facilitate searches; and that the dataset that is output by searches should be carefully examined to make sure that it really the dataset that the user intended. 9.

The case of the NP ordinarily matches the case of the head noun or pronoun: Œn¹ (nominative), Œa¹ (accusative), Œg¹ (genitive), or Œd¹ (dative) (instrumental NPs are not arguments). ( [+ ac/CC ] [nn hi/PEN ealle/JJN ] [~ ne/NE ] [at mihton/MT ] [nd hyre/PED anre/JJD ] [vv gehelpan/VV ] . ) (AELIVE,I,210.8) but they all not could her one help.

In the following adjacent clauses, the first NP of the second clause is case-marked nominative rather than genitive: ( [nn oxan/NNG t+agl/NNN ] [vt bi+d/BT ] [ng scillinges/NNG ] [jn weor+d/JJN ] , ) (LAW2,116.59) ox tail is shilling worthy, ( [nn cus/NNG ] [vt bi+d/BT ] [ng fifa/NNG ] ; ) (LAW2,116.59) cow is five; Predicates of the verb Œbe¹, however, are normally case-marked by form rather than by function: ( [nn +t+at/PDN o+der/JJN ] [vt w+as/BT ] [ng Creca/NMG ] ... ) (OROSIU,58.28) that second was Greeks ... NPs that have been moved out of other NPs or PPs are also syntactically bracketed as Œnc¹.

In the morphological section of the token, they are given a distinct word class Œw:prrf¹ (which is also used for pronouns used reflexively), and the word class is reflected in the POS tag Œ/PF¹. Emphatic reflexives are syntactically bracketed and labelled only if they are separated from the argument NP; if they appear adjacent to the argument NP, they are simply included within it. If they are separated from the argument NP, no empty category is left inside the NP. ( ...

Diagnostics for distinguishing particles from other adverbs are not easy to make precise. One criterion that we have used is that the items on this list appear as verbal prefixes in Old English dictionaries, and yet may appear separated from their verbs in Old English texts. The following are all of the Old English lexical items we have identified as particles, and which are tagged as particles regardless of the verb with which they are associated: adun(e), +after, aweg, (of)dune, fore, for+t, fram, geond, in, mid, ni+ter, of, ofer, ongean, on, onweg, to, +turh, under, up, ut, wi+t, wi+ter, ymb(e).

In these cases, we have added an underline (Œ_¹) to the particle to indicate that it is joined to the next word. Note that in the gloss and the morphological section of the token, the particle+verb appears as one word, not two. ( ... 2[B [co +t+at/CO ] [nn hi/PEN ] [na +t+at/PDA Godes/NMG m+aden/NNA ] [pp mid/PP heora/PO galdrum/NND ] [pa ofer_/PA ] [vt swy+ddon/VT ] B]2 . ) (AELIVE,I,216.103) ... that they that God maiden with their sounds overpowered. oferswy+ddon_l(oferswi+tan)_m(m:in_n:pl_t:pa_w:vb)_c(2)_p(ofer) To distinguish particles from PPs where the pronominal or relativized object does not appear immediately after the preposition: if there exists a constituent that can be interpreted as an object of a preposition, the particle is bracketed as a PP containing an empty category: ( [nn Oswold/NMN ] [nd-1 him/PED ] [vt com/VT ] [pp to/PP %nd-1% ] , ) (AELIVE,III,126.14) O. him came to, If, however, the particle was separated from the verb as described above, it is categorized as a particle regardless of whether a potential object of a preposition occurs in the clause. In the example below, note the underline Œ_¹ indicating that the particle wi+d was attached to the verb feaht in the text. ( [+ and/CC ] %nn% [nd him/PED ] [rm cenlice/RM ] [pa wi+d_/PA ] [vt feaht/VT ] [pp mid/PP lytlum/JJD werode/NND ] , ) (AELIVE,III,126.14) and him boldly fought-against with little throng, Prepositions without complements are POS-tagged as particles, even if the particle is not listed as a prefix on the verb in Old English dictionaries.

Because of the lack of a VP constituent, VP conjunction is where possible treated as if it were clausal, i.e., as if a conjunction reduction transformation had applied to the second conjunct, leaving behind some empty categories. The conjunction is included within the brackets of the second conjunct, and empty subjects and verbs (usually auxiliaries, but sometimes main verbs and participles) are inserted to fill out the structure. In the following examples, sequences of main clauses that are separated in the corpus by blank lines are printed in the documentation with no space and with the combined gloss after both clauses in order to indicate that they comprise a single example.

In these cases, therefore, we have used a Œvx¹ phrasal category, which is VP-like and contains a coordinating conjunction and a verb and may contain one or more complements and adjuncts. These vx¹s don¹t fit neatly into the syntax of the clause. They are bracketed separately to provide information about verb-complement/adjunct word order, and for that reason the non-clausal constituents within them are bracketed and labelled. The following guidelines explain the use of verb, verb projection, and clausal conjunction in the Brooklyn Corpus: 1) When finite verbs are adjacent and conjoined, share the subject and all complements and adjuncts (or have no complements and adjuncts), they are simply bracketed within a single [vt ... ]: ( [+ &/CC ] %nn% [vt wicode/VT ] [rl +t+ar/RL ] 1[B [cs +ta/PDA hwile/NNA ] [co +te/CO ] [nn man/PMN ] [na +ta/PDA burg/NNA ] [vt worhte/VT &/CC getimbrede/VT ] [pp +at/PP Witham/NMD ] B]1 ; ) (CHROA2,96.913.3) and dwelled there that while that one that fort prepared and constructed at W.; Notice that in the example below, there is no overt conjunction: ( 1(V [vt Blissa/VI , blissa/VI ] , [o Apolloni/NMN ] , 2[B [cs for/PP +dam/PDD ] [co +te/CO ] [nn min/PON dohtor/NNN ] [vt gewilna+d/VT ] [ng +t+as/PDG 3[L %wh-1% [co +de/CO ] %nn-1% [nn min/PON willa/NNN ] [vt is/BT ] L]3 ] B]2 . V)1 ) (APOLLO,34.21.16) rejoice , rejoice, Apollonius, before that that my daughter wishes that that my mind is. 2) When finite verbs are conjoined and share a subject but not complements and adjuncts, the second conjunct is if possible treated as a conjoined clause with an empty subject: ( [rt +ta/RT ] [vt geaxode/VT ] [na +t+at/PDA ] [nn Athanasius/NMN se/PDN dry/NNN ] , ) (AELIVE,I,310.50) then discovered that Athanasius that magician, ( [+ and/CC ] %nn% [vt com/VT ] [pp to/PP +dam/PDD casere/NND ] , ) (AELIVE,I,310.50) and came to that emperor, ( ... 3[T-1 [+ &/CC ] [co +t+at/CO ] [nn h+a+denscype/NNN ] [rr ealles/RR ] [rr to/RR ] [rr wide/RR ] [rr swy+de/RR ] [vt gederede/VT ] T]3 4[T-1 [+ &/CC ] %co% %nn% [rr gyt/RR ] [vt dere+d/VT ] [rr wide/RR ] T]4 . ) (WULF4,221.2) ... and that paganism entirely also widely very-much damaged and yet damages widely. In the case of particle verbs, the verbs must be separated, since the verbs do not share the particle. 3) When finite verbs are conjoined but not adjacent and share a subject and some but not all complements and adjuncts, a vx constituent is used to isolate the second verb and its associated complements and adjuncts. Shared complements and adjuncts are bracketed with the first verb.

Empty categories Empty categories are indicated by %z% or %Z%, where Œz¹ and ŒZ¹ are the appropriate syntactic labels. In contrast to the PPCME1 practice, empty categories contain nothing but the label and, depending on use, an index. If the empty category contains an index, the format is %z-i% or %Z-i%, where i is an integer. A note on coindexing: we had intended to coindex empty (and some overt) categories based on the descriptions in this section and in other parts of this manual. However, we simply ran out of time, and so not all categories that should be coindexed are in fact coindexed. We have coindexed the cases that are difficult to understand, and in many cases we have not coindexed the cases that are obvious. We could have removed the existing indices and not done any coindexing at all, but we decided that it would be better to supply some valid information than none. Users should therefore be aware that they will not find indices in all places where they might expect them. 11.1 Empty non-clausal categories %nc% empty case-marked NP %np% empty NP with no explicit antecedent %nx% empty NP with unknown case %ne% empty expletive %rl%, %rt%, %rr% adverbial gap in wh- clause %cs% empty complementizer/subordinating conjunction %wh% empty wh- constituent in wh- clause %co% empty complementizer in subordinate clause %at% empty finite auxiliary verb %vt% empty finite lexical verb 11.1.1 Subjects Finite clauses normally contain a subject.

In clauses where this is clear, %nc% is inserted in the conjunct, where the case of the empty NP matches the case of the NP in the previous clause. Note that the verb in the second conjunct may take an object with different case-marking: what is indicated here is that, for example, there was an accusative object in the previous clause that serves as the object for the conjoined clause, regardless of the case-marking that would occur if the object were actually present in the conjunct.

If neither is present, empty categories %cs% and %co% are inserted as follows: 1) All non-conjoined that-clause complements of nouns or adjectives in the Brooklyn Corpus have overt complementizers, so no empty categories are needed. In contrast, there do exist (non-conjoined) that-clause complements of verbs which have empty complementizers, but these are treated as embedded main clauses (see Section 8.2.7). 2) For conjoined clauses, the pattern of the first conjunct is followed: if the first conjunct contains both a Œcs¹ and a Œco¹, it is assumed that second and later conjuncts are the same; if the first contains only a Œcs¹ or a Œco¹, it is assumed that second and later conjuncts are the same.

Morphological annotation This section briefly describes the morphological annotation of part 3 of the tokens in Format 1 files of the Brooklyn Corpus. For more complete documentation, and for a version of the Old English Section of the Helsinki Corpus that is annotated only with morphological information, contact Ans van Kemenade (a.v.kemenade@let.kun.nl). As was stated above, part 3 contains the Old English data with morphological annotation.

Searching the Brooklyn Corpus The Brooklyn Corpus is searchable in three different ways, each of which is suitable for different formats of the corpus files (see Section 3.1): … Method 1: using search functions within word-processing programs and editors such as Word, WordPerfect, or emacs. For this method, all corpus files (extensions .o2/.o23/.o24/.o3/.o34, .oe, .unpacked, and .psd) are suitable as input to the searches (Formats 1-4). … Method 2: using the PERL scripts supplied with the Brooklyn Corpus. For this method, corpus files with extensions .oe and .unpacked are suitable as input to the searches (Formats 2-3). … Method 3: using CorpusSearch, a powerful search engine developed specifically for searching syntactically annotated corpora. For this method, corpus files with extension .psd are suitable as input to the searches (Format 4). Methods 2 and 3 are the best ways of searching the corpus, since they produce output files that contain the tokens matching the search criteria. Method 1 is useful for those who are familiar with particular word-processing software and who feel comfortable using that software to do simple or complex searches. Method 1 will not be discussed further here; users should consult the manuals of the software that they use for additional help and advice. 13.1 Search method 2: PERL scripts Two PERL scripts are supplied with the Brooklyn Corpus for searching files with .oe and .unpacked extensions: oe_print_if and oe_print_unless. The original scripts were written by Ann Taylor for the PPCME1, and then modified for the Brooklyn Corpus. The scripts can be used on UNIX systems, PCs, or Macintoshes that have PERL interpreters or compilers. The descriptions below are for UNIX systems. For both scripts, wildcards can be used instead of Œtextfile¹ in the command line, i.e. *.oe can be used to search all files with the extension .oe. The output of the scripts can be used as input for a new search. 13.1.1 oe_print_if Usage: oe_print_if ³pattern² textfile > outputfile This script prints all the tokens that match the pattern. The pattern must be enclosed in double quotation marks (³...²) and must be a PERL regular expression (see Section 13.2.3). Text inside , , ... , and ... (i.e. comments, Latin text, headings) is not searched. Examples: 1. oe_print_if ³\[L² *.unpacked > rclauses.out will write to file rclauses.out all relative clauses in all files with extension .unpacked 2. oe_print_if ³\[nn [a-zA-Z]+\/PE² *.oe > pro-nom.out will write to file pro-nom.out all tokens in all files with extension .oe that contain a personal pronoun within a non-coindexed nominative noun phrase. 13.1.2 oe_print_unless Usage: oe_print_unless ³pattern² textfile > outputfile This script prints all the tokens that do not match the pattern. As with oe_print_if, the pattern must be enclosed in double quotation marks (³...²) and must be a PERL regular expression (see Section 13.2.3). Text inside , , ... , and ... (i.e. comments, Latin text, headings) is not searched. Example: oe_print_unless ³%wh² rclauses.out > rclauses.wh will write to file rclauses.wh all relative clauses from file rclauses.out that do not contain an empty wh constituent. 13.1.3 PERL regular expressions For a complete list, consult any PERL manual. Characters which have a special meaning in regular expressions are matched by preceding them with the backslash character \. For matching in the corpus, the most important special characters are Œ[Œ Œ]¹ Œ(Œ Œ)¹ Œ-Œ Œ+¹ Œ.¹. . matches any character except newline [xyz] matches any character in the set. For example, [ab] matches a or b; [cdef] matches any of c, d, e, or f; [a-z] matches any lower case letter; [0-9] matches any digit; [a-z0-9] matches any lower case character or digit; [A-Z] matches any upper case letter. [^xyz] matches any character not in the set. E.g., [^ab] matches anything except a or b. \d matches a digit \D matches a non-digit \w matches an alphanumeric character (A-Z, a-z, 0-9, and _) \W matches a non-alphanumeric character \s matches a whitespace character (space, table, newline, formfeed) \S matches a non-whitespace character \b matches a word boundary \B matches except at a word boundary \n matches a new line \r matches a carriage return (xyz) anything in parentheses is remembered for back-reference (see next item). \1 matches contents of first set of parentheses, \2 matches contents of second set of parentheses, etc. For example, the expression ³(abc)x\1² will match the string ³abcxabc²; the expression ³(ab(c))x\1\2² will match the string ³abcxabcc². x? matches 0 or 1 x¹s x* matches 0 or more x¹s x+ matches 1 or more x¹s x{m,n} matches at least m x¹s but no more than n x¹s ab|cde|x matches ab or cde or x 13.2 Search method 3: CorpusSearch CorpusSearch is a powerful search engine, developed by Beth Randall for searching syntactically annotated corpora. CorpusSearch can be used to search Brooklyn Corpus files with the extension .psd. CorpusSearch permits complex searches on structure as well as on strings, and uses a search language that is much more transparent than the regular expressions of the PERL scripts of search method 2. CorpusSearch is without doubt the best, easiest, most flexible, and most efficient way of searching the Brooklyn Corpus. It can be ordered from the website of the second edition of the Penn-Helsinki Parsed Corpus of Middle English (PPCME2): http://www.ling.upenn.edu/mideng. It should be noted that when CorpusSearch is used on Brooklyn Corpus .psd files, the results of searches will be output in the 'vertical' format of the PPCME2. Appendix A: Corpus Texts The text files of the Brooklyn Corpus are labelled with their Helsinki Corpus name. Each text is represented by four different files, all with the same name but with a different extension, one file for each Format (see Section 3.1). All files begin with the prefix Œco¹. Format 1 files have an extension beginning with Œo¹ followed by the Helsinki Corpus time period that the text belongs to. If Œo¹ is followed by one number, the date of composition and the date of the manuscript fall within the same period; when Œo¹ is followed by two numbers, the first is the period of the date of composition, the second of the manuscript. The four time periods of the Old English Section of the Helsinki Corpus are 1=before 850, 2=850-950, 3=950-1050, and 4=1050-1150. Format 2 files have the extension Œ.oe¹. Format 3 files have the extension Œ.unpacked¹. Format 4 files have the extension Œ.psd¹ (for Œparsed¹). The texts in alphabetic order are the following. All of the information given below except for the word count and the token reference format is contained in the header block of each Format 1 file. coaelet3.o3 AELFRIC¹S FIRST AND SECOND LETTERS TO WULSTAN.
