Subject: New Release of the Reference Corpus of Middle High German (ReM)


We are pleased to announce the new Version 2 of the Reference Corpus
of Middle High German (ReM), which is available for download via the
project website:
  https://linguistics.rub.de/rem
The Reference Corpus of Middle High German (1050–1350) consists of
more than two million tokens, providing a mostly complete collection
of written records from Early Middle High German (1050–1200) as well
as a careful selection of Middle High German texts from 1200 to 1350.
The corpus was compiled in the context of a series of projects at the
Universities of Cologne, Bonn, and Bochum, beginning in the mid-1980s.
This new version of the corpus contains numerous corrections and
improvements, both to the tokenization and to the linguistic
annotations, as well as several new documents that were added to the
corpus.
In addition to CorA-XML, various new formats are available for
download, including TEI XML and GraphML, which, among other things, is
usable with a local ANNIS 4 instance.  There is also a JSON-based
format that contains all available annotations and provides easy
access for data analysis scripts.
The new version of the corpus can be accessed via ANNIS 4 at the
following URL:
