Abstract: |
This report describes a project to annotate the background coded text
of the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) with metadata, as well as various
current and projected outcomes. The focus now is on the 2.436
million quotations in the 1989 Second Edition (OED2), which are being
marked for author gender, textual genre, publication type, and edition
of inclusion. A future phase will address the additional 1.150 million
quotations added in the current version of OED Online (OED3), as well
as the non-quotation text of all three editions. |
