[Corpora-List] help on document comparison for historians

[Mcenery, Tony]

Hi Antonio,

A couple of papers that you may find of interest looking at this very issue are listed below. The work was done using a tool developed by Scott Piao (based on work he was involved in at Sheffield):

Hardie, A, McEnery, T, and Piao, S. (2010) ‘A corpus-based approach to text reuse in the newsbooks of the Commonwealth’ in Dooley, B (ed.) The Dissemination of News and the Emergence of Contemporaneity in Early Modern Europe, Ashgate, Farnham, pp 251-286.

Hardie, A and McEnery, T (2009) (2009) ‘Corpus linguistics and historical contexts: text reuse and the expression of bias in early modern English journalism’, in R. Bowen, M. Mobärg and S. Ohlander (eds) Corpora and discourse – and stuff: papers in honour of Karin Aijmer, Gothenburg Studies in English 96, Acta Universitatis Gothoburgensis, Göteborg, pp. 59-92.

Best,

Tony

Dear all,

A friend of mine is working on medieval history and would
like to find a (user-friendly) tool that could help her with
the following functionality: one enters different documents and
the tool will deliver the excerpts (may be of several paragraph
length) that are identical across documents.

Any hint or help will be most welcome. Please reply to me.
I'll post a summary.

Kind regards,

António Branco
