New tools for the history of the Hispanic Middle Ages: The Computerized Textual Corpus
Abstract
The objective of this research is to encourage and develop new methods of analysis for medieval sources by employing the Computerized Textual Corpus. To the present day, linguistic research in Spain can be considered pioneer in the development of these technologies. The CORDE of the Spanish Royal Academy in itself permits the simultaneous search for information in 12,865 works and documents of the medieval period. Historical investigation cannot ignore the use of these resources to obtain greater empirical support for the interpretations derived from the formulation of hypotheses in political or social history. This article attempts to provide information about the main Computerized Textual Corpus and their basic applications for research.Downloads
