The OED Text Annotator, an OED experimental research tool, will allow users to
input a digital version of a chosen text for analysis. The user will receive
back a version in which each lexical token has been annotated with OED
information, including etymology and date range. The version which is being
developed now is optimized for post-1750 text, but if our users are excited by
the tool, we plan to develop the product to be functional across all time
periods of the English language.

Emily Hoyland, Product Manager, Tania Styles, Revision Editor, and James
McCracken, Language Engineering Manager, will demonstrate the tool and its
capabilities in this short online talk, and explain how you can test it
yourself.

Our guest speaker, Dr Claudia Roberta Combei, NLP Manager at the Università di
Bologna, Italy, will detail how she has been using the Text Annotator in her
research mapping language variation and change in political discourse,
focusing on inaugural addresses by US Presidents from 1789 to 2009.

If you would like to request access to test the tool before the presentation,
