Subject: CABAL Prototype -- English text under ARTFL



Computer Archive of British and American Literature (CABAL)
First Prototype

As part of a software development effort at ARTFL, I have loaded
a small number of English texts found at the Oxford Text Archive
under PhiloLogic. The current corpus consists of 25 texts of late
19th and early 20th century literature, which I hope to expand at
a later date (bibliography attached). The database is accessible
thought Internet at this time. If you want to have a look at the
system, please contact me for the PhiloLogic manual and account
userid and password. Please send requests for documentation, bug
reports, comments, and suggestions by e-mail or surface mail to:

CABAL is a cooperative effort between ARTFL and the Oxford Text Archive.


PhiloLogic

PhiloLogic is a full text retreival and analysis package developed
by ARTFL for French text. We are currently examining the ARTFL and
French specific limitations of the system in order to support
multi-language databases. In addition, we are considering development
of a large English database modelled closely on ARTFL. PhiloLogic
supports a wide variety of search, retrieval and quantitative functions
designed for literary text analysis, including co-occurence, phase,
word list and UNIX regular expression searches.


Sample One: Search for lover in whole corpus, showing first
bibliographic citation.
