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 ca. 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 extralinguistic 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 extralinguistic information, can be used to search the corpus."CEPhiT," like "CETA," is released on CD-Rom with the Coruna Corpus Tool (CCT), purpose-designed software by IrLab."
