The Helsinki Corpus of Older Scots
This is a 830,000 word corpus composed of historical Scottish English texts from 1450 to 1700, representing fifteen different prose genres (among which acts of parliament, biographies, pamphlets, private and official letters, etc.).
It has been compiled as a supplement to the Helsinki Corpus of English Texts and hence been submitted to the same principles of sociohistorical variation analysis.
Format, encoding and conventions are also the same: plain text with cocoa-style annotations giving information on writer, date, etc.
