The Corpus of English Philosophy Texts (CEPhiT) is part of the Coruna Corpus of English Scientific Writing (CC) following CETA (Corpus of English Texts on Astronomy). In accordance with the rest of the Corpus, CEPhiT has been compiled for the description of philosophical texts written in English in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
The sampling method employed requires the collection of extracts of 10,000 words. This method has been followed in CETA and CEPhiT, with samples from 40 different authors in the latter, both from Europe and North America. Text selection is based on some extra linguistic criteria, such as year of publication, sex, geographical provenance and text-types/genres.
The corpus contains samples belonging to six different genre categories. This taxonomy, as well as some other extra linguistic information, can be used to search the corpus.
CEPhiT, like CETA, is released on CD-Rom with Coruna Corpus Tool (CCT), purpose-designed software by IrLab.
