Abstract:

This volume focuses on the relationship and interaction of language and
science between 1700 and 1900. It pays particular attention to English History
writing in late Modern English as compiled in the Corpus of History English
Texts (CHET), a newly released sub-corpus of the Coruña Corpus of English
Scientific Writing. The chapters cover methodological issues, the period and
the status of the discipline itself, as well as pilot studies for the
description of scientific discourse using CHET. They embrace topics in several
linguistic fields: discourse analysis, syntax, semantics, morpho-syntax. The
studies take into account extralinguistic parameters of texts, such as year of
publication, sex of the author, geographical provenance of authors and the
communicative formats/genres to which the text sample belongs. In the
particular case of CHET, the collected samples can be grouped in eight
different categories and such categories, as well as the above-mentioned
metadata information, can be used to search the corpus. The book is of
interest for scholars specialised in corpus linguistics and historical
linguistics, as well as linguists in general. The metadata information used
for analysis can also be of interest for historians and historians of science
in particular.The Corpus of History English Texts (CHET), accompanied by the
Coruña Corpus Tool (CCT), purpose-designed software by IrLab, is accessible
online at the Repositorio Universidade Coruña at
