Writing history in Late Modern English: explorations of the Coruña corpus/ edited by Isabel Moskowich, Begoña Crespo, Luis Puente-Castelo, Leida Maria Monaco.
No full textIncludes bibliographical references and index."This volume focuses on the relationship and interaction of language and science between 1700 and 1900. It pays particular attention to English history writing in Late Modern English as compiled in the Corpus of History English Texts (CHET), a newly released subcorpus of the Coruña Corpus of English Scientific Writing. The chapters cover methodological issues, the period and the status of discipline itself, as well as pilot studies for the description of scientific discourse using CHET. They embrace topics in several linguistic fields: discourse analysis, syntax, semantics, morphosyntax. The studies take into account extralinguistic parameters of texts, such as year of publication, sex of the author, geographical provenance of authors and the communicative formats/genres to which the text sample belongs. In the particular case of CHET, the collected samples can be grouped in eight different categories and such categories, as well as the above-mentioned metadata information, can be used to search the corpus. The Corpus of History English Texts (CHET), accompanied by the Coruña Corpus Tool (CCT) purpose-designed software by IrLab, is accessible online at the Repositorio Universidade Coruña at http://hdl.handle.net/2183/21849"--Writing history in Late Modern English: explorations of the Coruña Corpus : a preface / Javier Pérez Guerra -- A review of the development of historical writing and writers in English from 1700 to 1900 / Elena Alfaya Lamas -- "There were always Indians passing to and fro" : notes on the representation of Native Americans in CHET documents / Marina Dossena -- An introduction to CHET, the Corpus of History English Texts / Isabel Moskowich -- Typical linguistic patterns of English history texts from the eighteenth to the nineteenth century : an information-theoretic approach / Stefania Degaetano-Ortlieb, Katrin Menzel and Elke Teich -- Exploring the narrative dimension in Late Modern English history texts / Leida Maria Monaco -- Time and history : a preliminary approach to binomials in late Modern English astronomy and history texts / Paloma Núñez Pertejo -- "Were this efitimation, however, to be depended on": inversion conditionals as evidence of paradigmatic change in CHET / Luis Puente-Castelo -- Modal verb categories in CHET / Francisco Alsono-Almeida and Francisco J.

'it is proper ſubſerviently, to inquire into the nature of experimental chemiſtry': Difficulties in Reconciling Discipline-Based Characteristics and Compilation Criteria in the Selection of Samples for CECheT.
No full textThis paper discusses the compilation of the beta version of CECheT, the subcorpus devoted to Chemistry in the Coruña Corpus of English Scientific Writing, and reflects on the difficulties faced during this process and how they were overcome. The historical context of science will be examined, particularly that of chemistry, and how this affects the process of compilation.Attention will also be paid to the compilation criteria used in the whole Coruña Corpus, including those regarding the appropriateness of authors and text samples (Moskowich, 2012), and how these criteria have been applied to the compilation of CECheT in order to make it representative of the practices of the discipline at the time.Finally, the corpus will be described briefly, looking at a series of parameters: the topics of the texts, the size of samples, their chronological distribution, as well as the geographical origin and sex of the authors represented.</jats:p
Conditionals and their Functions in Women's Scientific Writing
No full textAbstractDespite socio-cultural gender-based prejudice, women have played a role in the advancement of scientific knowledge for as long as science exists. However, their effort, but for a few exceptions, has been historically hidden from public recognition and frequently shadowed behind the figures of their male relatives or husbands. Women who still decided to fight against this state of affairs and kept writing scientific texts used several strategies to overcome resistance from their male counterparts. One of such strategies was the use of conditionals, as the latter not only play a significant role in logical argumentation, but can also act as downtoning devices or hedges. The aim of this study is to describe the functions of conditionals in the works of English-speaking women scientists whose works were published along the 18th and 19th centuries. Our intention is to focus on the different varieties of conditionals and their pragmatic functions in each text as well as in the construction of scientific discourse. The diachronic evolution of the different functions of conditionals and their relationship with the ever-evolving scientific world, as well as the possible correlations between the use of the different conditional subordinators and their functions will be analysed. This research is carried out using the Coruña Corpus of Scientific Writing with the help of the Coruña Corpus Tool

It represents English texts dealing with chemistry and alchemy matters in late Modern English (1700-1900), and it can be used to describe such tradition both from a synchronic and a diachronic perspective. As is characteristic of the Coruña Corpus, each text file in CECheT is accompanied by a metadata file which provides information about the text sampled and its author’s sociolinguistic background. Metadata files can be also used to select the texts to work with through the Coruña Corpus Tool.[Descrición] Para empregar o Corpus of English Chemistry Texts (CEChet) debe descargar o software Coruña Corpus Tool (http://hdl.handle.net/2183/21850).O Corpus of English Chemistry Texts (CECheT) é a quinta parte do Coruña Corpus of English Scientific Writing (CC), compilada para representar a produción escrita sobre materias relacionadas coa química e a alquimia en inglés moderno tardío (1700-1900).
