18/12/2009 MEG-C, version 2009.1
The new version of The Middle English Grammar Corpus is out today! There are 120 new texts, and the MEG-C Catalogue has been updated accordingly. We have also gone over to a new numbering system, where the version number tells the year of publication and the version within that year. Thus the current update is called "MEG-C, version 2009.1".
We have archived the version 1.0 (now called version 2008.1), and that version is still available as .zip archives, both in .txt and .pdf.
04/05/2008 MEG-C, version 1.0
The Middle English Grammar Corpus, version 1.0 is now out. After this, new texts will be uploaded twice a year, and these updates will result in a new version number. Earlier versions will be archived, and they will be available for downloading.
27/04/2008 MEG-C post-symposium
The Middle English Grammar Symposium finished yesterday, and the organizers would like to thank all the delegates and everybody else who contributed to the warm atmosphere of the symposium. We hope that the two days were enjoyable to all who participated and that it was worth the effort. There will be a picture page of the conference soon, check this news item again!
24/04/2008 MEG-C Symposium; MEG-C version 1.0
The Middle English Grammar Corpus will be officially launched tomorrow, April 25th. We have invited colleagues from Norway and UK to a two-day symposium to mark the occasion. Locally, the event is covered at the University of Stavanger web site, and Stavanger Aftenbladet.
After MEG-C Symposium, by April 30th, we will 'freeze' the current version of the corpus, and it will be numbered version 1.0. Later major updates of the corpus will receive a new number. These updates will take place when we have several new texts processed; we hope we can update the corpus at least every six months. When an update takes place, we will provide a link to the earlier versions of the corpus.
