  Trinity Corpus of Bardic Poetry (1200-1600)
  Summary

  This project involves linguistically annotating TCD Irish Dept's corpus of Bardic poetry which dates from 1200 to 1600AD. In collaboration with Dr. Eoin Mac Cárthaigh, Roinn na Gaeilge, we are automatically lemmatizing and part-of-speech tagging each word in the corpus using language processing tools for Irish. This will facilitate the production of a bardic poetry dictionary. To date approximately half of the tokens in the corpus have been automatically recognised using the pre-existing Irish language tools. We are seeking funding to complete the work of customising the tools for linguistic annotation for this period and for checking the annotated text by 2020.
