IMPACT-es GT-section
----------------------

The IMPACT-es diachronic corpus of historical Spanish compiles over
one hundred books, containing approximately 8 million words, in
addition to a complementary lexicon which links more than 10 thousand
lemmas with attestations of the different variants found in the
documents. This textual corpus and the accompanying lexicon have been
released under an open license (Creative Commons by-nc-sa) in order to
permit their intensive exploitation in linguistic research.

Approximately 7% of the words in the corpus (a selection aimed at
enhancing the coverage of the most frequent word forms) have been
annotated with their lemma, part of speech, and modern equivalent.

The HistCorp files
-------------------
On the HistCorp page, the Spanish texts from the GT-section of the
'IMPACT' corpus are provided in a plain text format ('txt') and in a
tokenised format ('tok'). 

The plain text files were created from the original IMPACT xml files,
by extracting the text parts of the XML files, and also adding
metadata from the XML files in a TEI-compatible format at the top of
each file. In addition, the number of tokens for each file has been
calculated based on the tokenised version of the file.

In the tokenised files, the texts are split into one token on each
line. Tokenisation was performed using the UDPipe tokeniser
(https://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/udpipe) with the Spanish language model
provided as a baseline model in the CoNLL17 Shared Task
(spanish-ud-2.0-conll17-170315.udpipe).

Size: 21 texts, with a total of 6,309,761 tokens.
