Corpus analysis of historical German-language textbooks
Most of the digitised German-language historical textbooks in GEI-Digital were prepared for analysis as part of the project The Evolution of the Textbook, using online corpus-linguistic tools provided by the ‘Zentrum Sprache’ at the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities. There are now 5,377 works available as part of the 'GEI-Digital'-corpus, which are also part of the meta corpus historical corpora. The data sets on which the corpus is based are available on Zenodo.
