Subject: EEBO corpus: 755 million words, 1470s-1690s

 
The Early English Books Online (EEBO) corpus is now available online as part
of the suite of BYU corpora:

https://corpus.byu.edu/eebo/

The corpus contains 755,000,000 words of data in more than 25,000 texts from
the 1470s-1690s. The corpus also provides a wide range of searches that are
not available in other instances of the EEBO corpus online, including:
semantic tagging, advanced part of speech tagging and lemmatization, the
ability to quickly and easily create ''virtual corpora'', powerful comparisons
across different parts of the corpus, and much more.

The EEBO corpus is part of the SAMUELS project
(https://www.gla.ac.uk/schools/critical/research/fundedresearchprojects/samuel
s/), which also includes the Hansard Corpus (1.6 billion words in 7.6 million
speeches in the British Parliament, 1800s-2000s), and which is also available
from the BYU suite of corpora (http://corpus.byu.edu).
